Network Analyzer Basics Network Analyzer Basics Network Analysis is NOT.… Why Do We Need to Test Components? Verify specifications of “building blocks” for more complex RF systems Ensure distortionless transmission of communications signals linear: constant amplitude, linear phase / constant group delay nonlinear: harmonics, intermodulation, compression, AM-to-PM conversion Ensure good match when absorbing power (e.g., an antenna) Agenda Transmission line Zo Zo determines relationship between voltage and current waves Zo is a function of physical dimensions and ?r Zo is usually a real impedance (e.g. 50 or 75 ohms) Criteria for Distortionless Transmission Nonlinear Networks Dynamic Range and Accuracy Reflection: One-Port Model Optimize Filter Measurements with Swept-List Mode TDR Basics Using a Network Analyzer Time-Domain Filter Tuning Deterministic method used for tuning cavity-resonator filters Traditional frequency-domain tuning is very difficult: lots of training needed may take 20 to 90 minutes to tune a single filter Need VNA with fast sweep speeds and fast time-domain processing Filter Reflection in Time Domain Set analyzer’s center frequency = center frequency of the filter Measure S11 or S22 in the time domain Nulls in the time-domain response correspond to individual resonators in filter Tuning Resonator #3 Easier to identify mistuned resonator in time-domain: null #3 is missing Hard to tell which resonator is mistuned from frequency-domain response Adjust resonators by minimizing null Adjust coupling apertures using the peaks in-between the dips High-Dynamic Range Measurements 87050E/87075C Standard Multiport Test Sets For use with 8712E family 50 ?: 3 MHz to 2.2 GHz, 4, 8, or 12 ports 75 ?: 3 MHz to 1.3 GHz, 6 or 12 ports Test Set Cal and SelfCal dramatically improve calibration times Systems offer fully-specified performance at test ports Test Set Cal Eliminates Redundant Connections of Calibration Standards Balanc
