Re: VNAs
Look at the definitions of the 4 S parameters S22 is the reflection of signal reflected by the load. That is a major source of instability.

To rotate the device in a two parameters VNA works for any device. No matter if it¡¯s active or passive . Unless you power the device via his ports. To rotate the device adds more uncertainly to

Re: VNAs
OK, but this only works for passive DUTs, one assumes? If you're testing an RF amplifier - for example - then it's not going to work, is it?

Re: VNAs
Yes. It's inconvenient, so higher grade VNAs have relay boxes to automate the task or more receivers and directional couplers. I was building such a setup for my VNWA and then wound up with an 8753B

Hi, Is there any work-around you can use to measure S12 and S22 using a cheapo VNA which is primarily designed only to provide S11 and S21 data? Thanks. J.

A number of instruments used the same indicators so you should find them fairly easily. Regards Nigel Adams-Marconi Instruments Heritage Collection

Re: Marconi Q meter exciter - update
Following my July post [1], I got round to realising the exciter in a 100 x 100 x 50mm extruded aluminium enclosure powered by an external 7 - 12V "wall wart".? Power draw is about 2.5W. RF output

Re: Multiplexing 3457A using a 3497A ?
If you decide to use I2C anywhere, there's an I2C isolator chip, ISO1641 that has a fair bit of voltage isolation.? AVRs can do I2C reasonably well.? If you go serial, then likely standard

Re: Suitable N Connectors for Gore PhaseFlex RF Cable
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I agree it can't be trivial to terminate these cables, particularly with excellent return loss at 10 or more gigahertz that some are rated, but yet it is being done at the

Re: Cap sub box
Interesting idea to split it up¡ªget two (or three) caps for the price of one. I'm imagining a couple of selector switches to pick the positions of the decade divisions, then a couple more switches

Wow. I have never seen anyone put connectors on a piece of Gore cable and have the result be worth a damn! Many Gore cables with end severed/ripped off or broken have been canned over the years at the
