VNA test cables sport flex life exceeding 100,000 cycles
A new series of highly flexible VNA test cables are designed to address a range of demanding test and lab applications. Fairview Microwave’s new high-frequency VNA test cables display excellent electrical properties such as exceptional phase stability of ±6° at 50 GHz and ±8° at 70 GHz, as well as VSWR of 1.3:1 at 50 […]
Two-port USB-controlled, lab-grade VNA operates from 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz
The Pico Technology PicoVNA 108 extends to 8.5 GHz the operating frequency range of the same-footprint PicoVNA 106 6 GHz instrument released three years ago. The new PicoVNA 108 fulfills user demand for “faster, more frequency range, more port power and dynamic range, and more functionality.” In addition to the PicoVNA 108’s extended range from […]
PC-based VNA handles signals out to 8.5 GHz
The newly announced PicoVNA 108 comes in the same low-cost, small-footprint and portable format as the widely used PicoVNA106 6 GHz instrument. The PicoVNA 108 can see out further to 8.5 GHz and it can see down deeper to –124 dB. It provides new “save on trigger” synchronization for multiple measurements, for example, with changing […]
Economical modular two-port VNAs work at up to 43.5 GHz
The ShockLine ME7868A family of modular two-port vector network analyzers (VNAs) can conduct full vector S-parameter measurements over wide distances of up to 100 m. Consisting of two MS46131A one-port VNAs with the PhaseLync synchronization option hardware and accessories, the ME7868A VNA uses the MS46131As as portable VNA ports to directly connect to the device […]
Practical measurement of feedback loops and their stability
Feedback is relevant not only to electronic circuits but also to all kinds of natural and human-based phenomena ranging from mechanical engineering to economics and finance. Feedback emerges when one or more system outputs are connected back to system inputs. If polarity is inverted, it is an instance of negative feedback, which in electrical circuits […]
Spectrum analyzer incorporates VNA functions
The new RSA3000N and RSA5000N Spectrum Analyzer extends the flexibility and capability of the UltraReal platform with a new Vector Network Analyzer measurement mode. The RSA5000N and the RSA3000N deliver the same performance specifications and feature set as the current RSA models but adds the VNA capability as a standard feature. With integrated Smith Charts, […]
Network analyzers incorporate high-performance signal generators for complex measurements
Enhanced PNA and PNA-X network analyzers contain a proprietary low-spurious direct-digital-synthesis (DDS) source, enabling users to take accurate measurements with less phase noise interference. With the clean source signals, users can perform two-tone IMD measurements with close tone spacing previously only possible with high-performance analog signal generators. The new DDS sources also enhance the performance […]
Vector network analyzer covers 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz range
The T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer enhances the existing T3 test equipment portfolio, adding to the affordable selection of test equipment that engineers, developers and schools can use to assemble a well-equipped test bench efficiently, reliably and within budget. “The introduction of the T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer is an exciting development as it expands on the […]
