Vector network analyzers illuminate wireless product designs
by BEN MAXSON, Head Applications Engineer, Copper Mountain Technologies Here are a few basic things to know about how to use vector network analyzers that measure complex impedance in RF circuits. Engineers who work with signals at relatively low frequencies don’t have to worry about conducting power through circuits. Simple wiring suffices for handling frequencies […]
