VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZER FACILITY

 

A Network Analyzer is an instrument that measures the network parameters of electrical networks. Network Analyzers commonly measure S-parameters because reflection and transmission of electrical networks are easy to measure at high frequencies. Network analyzers are often used to characterize two-port active and passive devices, but they can also be used on networks with an arbitrary number of ports. Vector error correction, which improves measurement accuracy by removing the effects of inherent measurement-system errors, requires both magnitude and phase data to build an effective error model. Phase-measurement capability is very important even for scalar measurements such as return loss, in order to achieve a high level of accuracy
