Abstract:
This seminar explores both foundational and advanced topics in Vector Network Analysis. We’ll begin by examining the internal architecture of a VNA and how it influences measurement behavior. From there, we’ll dive into newer measurement capabilities that go beyond traditional S-parameters, with a practical discussion on calibration techniques and the rationale behind them.
The session will conclude with a look at Keysight’s latest fixturing solutions and a live demonstration.
Outline:
- Inside the Box: Understanding the VNA Block Diagram
- Beyond the Basics: Unveiling New Measurement Capabilities of VNAs
- Precision in Practice: VNA Calibration – Why and How?
- New Fixturing Capabilities in VNAs e) Live Demo
