In this application note, the fundamental principles of vector network analysis will be reviewed. The discussion includes the common parameters that can be measured, including the concept of scattering parameters (S-parameters). RF fundamentals such as transmission lines and the Smith chart will...
Learn network analyzer measurement techniques that can be used to characterize and test frequency-translating devices (FTDs) accurately to reduce cost.
Topics discussed include: measuring high-power amplifiers, compensating for time delay in cable measurements, improving reflection measurements, using frequency-offset for mixer, converter, tuner measurements, etc.
This application note covers calibration standard definitions, calibration kit content, and the structure requirements for Keysight's vector network analyzers.
