CHECK OUT THE WIKI The purpose of the wiki is mainly to allow you to find information on instruments, either from either
- The model number
- The function(s) listed below. Some instruments have multiple functions - for example, the 4195A is a VNA, spectrum analyzer and an impedance analyzer. Therefore the 4195A is listed in multiple categories

Re: S11 and S22 comparisons on 8753
Agreed.
Note that the 8754A(?) computer based VNA that went to 18 GHz cost prehaps
$80,000 in 1970 (a guess). Probably more w/ options. That's $450,000 in
today's deflated dollars, so $700,000 is not

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

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

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
