Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
Agreed. That is why I was surprised when someone said a scalar one was
more accurate.
Agilent sell a VNA for 110 GHz. At $691,437 for a 4-port model, I
don't expect Agilent sell too many of them! If

HP5328a Fan upgrade
Hi Folks,
I've been thinking on upgrading my HP5328a's fan wich is so noisy that I cannot make any QSO while it's on.
Anyone ever thought about replacing it with a DC Brushless Computer Fan like ADDA

Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
You can use a SNA for quick and dirty tests, comparing a known, high
quality, component to the DUT, especially if you have a Storage
Normalizer, but in no way is an SNA a substitute for a VNA.

Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
A well calibrated VNA is the best way of measuring S11/ S22.
A broadband cal kit load is as close to 50Ohm as HP can make it.
A slight mismatch at the end of an air line will allow you to normalise

Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
I don't claim to know much about scaler network analyzers, so what I
say might be wrong.
I don't see how you can consider a *scaler* network analyzer able to
characterise S11 and S22, since both S11

Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
Hi:
The most accurate way of characterizing S11 or S22 is to use a scalar network analyzer with a bridge and precision air line. The cal load is a precision load that's just slightly off from 50.0

Dave,
Yes, backing up on floppy will save those calibration constants (and other stuff as well). That way, if you have to replace the processor board, you don't have to recalibrate everything. You

Yes, that would be my next try, though I have to build some suitable extensions for the probe tips in order not to remove the panel.
