Designing a low-cost high-performance 10 MHz - 15 GHz vector network analyzer
Introduction
VNA PCB.
Vector network analyzer is a device used to measure scattering
parameters of electrical
circuits operating at high frequencies. S-parameters tell how much a circuit
reflects power back to the source and how much it attenuates or amplifies it to
the other ports. Working with S-parameters is an essential part of designing any
electronics operating at GHz frequencies.
These devices aren't cheap, especially as the operating frequency increases.
High end VNAs that operate at mil...
