S-Parameter Test Set

Network analyzers use two main types of test sets, T/R and S-Parameter. S-parameter test sets enable both forward and reverse measurements on the Device Under Test (DUT), which are essential for determining all four S-parameters. RF power can be output from either test port one or two, and either port can be linked to a receiver. While S-parameter network analyzers offer superior performance compared to T/R-based analyzers, they are more expensive due to additional RF components in the test set.

There are two types of transfer switches used in S-parameter test sets: solid-state and mechanical. Solid-state switches have the benefit of an infinite lifespan (provided they are not damaged by excessive power from the DUT), but they are more lossy, reducing the network analyzer’s maximum output power. Mechanical switches, on the other hand, have very low loss, allowing for higher output powers, but they wear out after approximately 5 million cycles. When using a network analyzer with mechanical switches, measurements are typically performed in single-sweep mode to avoid continuous switching.

Internal Hard Disk Drive

Store and recall instrument states, calibration data, and trace data into internal hard drive. Trace data can be saved in CSV (comma separated value) format. All files are MS-DOS-compatible. Instrument states include all control settings, limit lines, segment sweep tables, and memory trace data. Internal hard disk drive (D:) can be accessed from an external Windows PC through LAN.
