Introduction To Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs)

By Tektronix

Vector network analyzers (VNAs) are used for the validations of design simulations in a wide range of RF and high frequency applications. In manufacturing applications, RF components ad devices are assembled and tested based on a certain set of specifications. VNAs are often used to quickly and accurately validate the performance of these RF components and devices. This white paper discusses the basics of VNAs, how they are unique compared to other RF test equipment, and best practices for their use in a variety of measurements.
