Re: Test Equipment For Sale
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? ? Hi Bruce ??I assume ?you are quoting the following ? I think what they are trying to sayis they REALLY want a network? analyzer.? SA +FG = S12 measurement ? ? Because I did not as most amateurs would not understand network analysers having never used one ? In England as part of a two week satellite work experience program for school children and a summer school for collage students ? the practical demonstrations start of with the understanding of Dbs ?followed by network analyser measuring throw loss and return loss and also TDR measurements on fibber optic cables ? ? These courses have even been rolled out to ?girls schools to educate them that engineering is a profession they can do and engineers no longer work with a greasy rag and go home stinking of oil ? Personally I am sylph taught as never worked with RF test equipment as part of my R & D work in the aerospace and automotive industry ? Regards Paul ? -----Original Message-----
