Vector Network Analyzer (VNA): Unlocking Precision in RF and Microwave Testing
🔍 What is a Vector Network Analyzer?
A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is an advanced test instrument used to measure the electrical network parameters of high-frequency components, circuits, and systems. Unlike scalar network analyzers that only measure magnitude, VNAs provide both magnitude and phase information of signals, making them essential tools in RF (radio frequency) and microwave engineering.
They are widely used to characterize devices such as antennas, filters, amplifiers, cables, connectors, and semiconductors, ensuring that components meet strict performance requirements in industries like telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and electronics manufacturing.
