Network analyzersare the go-to instrument to conduct transmission, reflection, and impedance measurements, as well as s-parameter measurement during both the design and production processes. Network analyzers characterize radio frequency (RF) devices. Although they started out just measuring S-parameters, network analyzers have become highly integrated and advanced to stay ahead of the devices they test. RF circuits require unique testing methods. Voltage and current are difficult to measure directly at high frequencies, so components must be characterized by their response to RF signals. Network analyzers make these characterizations by sending known signals into a device and taking ratioed measurements between the input and output signals. Early network analyzers only measure magnitude. These scalar network analyzers will measure return loss, gain, standing...
