Test Essentials: Vector Network Analyzer Basics
Now available on demand
VNAs share the distinction of being the most versatile and paradoxically the most intimidating instruments in the RF lab. In this presentation, we strip away the intimidation factor by examining the basic components making up a VNA, describe the kinds of applications commonly associated with VNAs, and provide demonstration overviews of these applications. We also discuss the different types of VNAs with emphasis on their differentiating features and key specifications, as well as typical options. If you are new to the VNA world, or just interested in a current snapshot of the VNA marketplace, this presentation is for you.
