With the increase of wireless and connected devices there is a rapidly expanding need for component testing to ensure the optimal performance of these devices. The resources below are designed for people without a background in VNAs. This content will provide an introductory understanding of testing wireless or IoT devices for R&D, development, and production.
Embedding and de-embedding have proven to be the most accurate way to remove or add any additional circuitry. Vector network analyzers can make more accurate measurements if the de-embedding, embedding, and port extension software features are utilized. This video explains embedding and de-embedding functions, how they work, and why they can improve your measurements.
