VNAs Compared to Other Instruments – What is Best For Your Application?
Vector Network Analyzers are commonly used to measure the frequency-domain response of high-frequency networks consisting of amplifiers, antennas, cables, switches, connectors, test fixtures and other components. But high-frequency VNAs are expensive and require extensive calibration. When are VNAs required and what other alternatives are there to characterize high-frequency components if your application doesn’t require some of the specialized capabilities that VNAs provide? Join Teledyne LeCroy as we dive into these details.
Topics to be covered in this webinar:
- How a VNA works and what it measures
- VNA calibration requirements
- Time-domain (e.g., impedance profile) capabilities provided by VNAs
- Passive vs. active component measurements
- Alternatives to a VNA
Who should attend? Design engineers who require frequency-domain network analysis but find VNAs cost prohibitive, too difficult to use, or rely on others for network analysis.
What will attendees learn? When it is absolutely necessary to use a VNA and when other alternatives can provide the same result easier, faster and at lower cost.
