Factors in Choosing a VNA for Microwave Applications in Manufacturing Application Note

Many microwave test applications do not need the level of performance provided by an expensive, high-end VNA. This is particularly true in production, where testing is typically not as rigorous as in device characterization and cost-of-test is critical. VNAs integrated into manufacturing test systems where S-parameter measurements represent only a part of the test list, may also require only moderate performance. This application note will examine these requirements and how they factor in to deciding which VNA is appropriate for a production environment. PN: 11410-01158

Distinction Between TRL and LRL

Although the TRL family of calibration algorithms have been around for over 40 years, there are still questions sometimes regarding differences between the family members. This is partially due to differences in various implementations over the years. The purpose of this document is to discuss some of the differences in the context of vector network analyzers (VNAs).

Technique for Improving Low Insertion Loss VNA Measurements Application Note

Passive devices can be less demanding to test than active devices, thus requiring less performance from the VNA. However, one interesting exception to this is the measurement of very low insertion loss passive components such as precision adapters or airlines. These types of devices can present a difficult challenge to characterize because of the desire for very low uncertainties on these small insertion losses. This application note talks about these challenges and provides a helpful technique. P/N: 11410-01090
