Until recently, vector network analyzers (VNAs) have been too expensive and hard to use for IoT and other embedded applications where they can be quite useful for design verification and optimization.

This article provides a brief tutorial on the vector network analyzer, how it works, and its application.

There are two types of network-analysis measurements: scalar and vector. Scalar measurements measure only the magnitude of the input versus output voltage and may be used to measure things like ...

Evaluating S-parameters and other CW stimulus responses is essential for characterising rf amplifiers. An rf vector network analyser (VNA) plays a critical role for this purpose, and proper ...

Keysight’s new-generation network analyzer, NA520xA PNA-X, simplifies complex characterization test setups with a highly configurable architecture offering four independent RF sources with pulse ...

A VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) allows you to measure the impedance of an arbitrary device (such as an antenna) across a wide range of frequencies, as well as the transmission coefficient (gain ...

The new Keysight E5081A ENA-X is a midrange network analyzer platform with integrated modulation distortion analysis with full vector correction at the device under test (DUT) plane in a single ...

A network analyzer is an instrument that allows us to characterize RF networks such as filters, mixers, antennas and even new materials for microwave electronics such as ceramic capacitors and ...

Joe Rickert, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s High-Frequency Measurements Center of Excellence, said: “The newest addition to the PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer portfolio is a ...
