This application note describes procedures that can be used to verify the performance and operation of a vector network analyzer (VNA) using just the equipment available in a standard Maury precision calibration kit 1. The purpose is to provide the user with a level of

ESTIMATION OF RESIDUAL ERROR PARAMETERS FOR VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZERS
free download
Abstract− Recently, a novel approach for the estimation of the residual error parameters of a calibrated vector network analyzer has been proposed. The method is based on a reflection measurement employing a high precision airline terminated by a short. From this

Narrow Pulse Measurements on Vector Network Analyzers

This paper investigates practical aspects of measuring antennas operating with pulsed RF signals of very narrow width, down to 0.1 µs or less. The current generation of network analyzers provides very high IFBW, theoretically allowing measurement of very narrow A simple diode-based nonlinear verification device (NVD) design for nonlinear vector network analyzers is presented together with an improved figure of merit (FOM) parameter that is insensitive to impedance match and isolates variation of the devicequoteright s
