Do you really need a VNA when a scalar network analyzer might do?

Network analyzers measure network parameters of electrical networks, such as two-port amplifiers and filters. The instruments characteristically operate at 5 Hz to 1.05 THz, mostly at the higher end, though some models are sensitive down to 1 Hz. These instruments are available in two varieties: scalar network analyzers, which measure only the amplitude of the […] The post Do you really need a VNA when a scalar network analyzer might do? appeared first on Electrical Engineering News and Produc...
