Microwave VNAs Aim: At Budget-Minded Measurements

摘要

Vector network analyzers (VNAs) may be among the hardest-working and vital test instruments in the RF/microwave industry. They have long been used to measure the amplitude and phase responses of active and passive RF/ microwave devices, components, and circuits, generating plots versus frequency that can be very revealing. But VNAs have traditionally also been among the most expensive of RF/ microwave test instruments-until now. Anritsu Co. has developed its ShockLine Series of VNAs, and the "shock" might be that these simple instruments make accurate RF/microwave measurements without breaking the bank.
