If you’re going to fail, you might as well fail ambitiously. A complex project with a lot of subsystems has a greater chance of at least partial success, as well as providing valuable lessons in what ...

With vector network analyzers, the commercial offerings seem to come in two flavors: relatively inexpensive but limited capabilities, and full-featured but scary expensive. There doesn’t seem to be ...

Vector network analysis is critical to ensuring the quality of microwave components manufactured for wireless communications systems. If you are designing or manufacturing microwave components, you ...

Combining a VNA (vector network analyzer) and spectrum analyzer in a compact, handheld package, Bird Technologies’ SignalHawk SH-361S simplifies the installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of ...

Vector network analyzers (VNAs) are amazing tools that not only let you check an antenna’s VSWR (and return loss) over frequency, but also display the complex impedance of the antenna. Some can be ...

The vector network analyzer (VNA) remains one of the most basic, yet pivotal, tools to test component specifications and verify design simulations in order to ensure that systems and their components ...

What does a VNA measure? What can one do with the measured data? What devices are measured with a VNA? Most design engineers are familiar with tools of the trade such as voltmeters, oscilloscopes, ...
