2. Description of a network analyzer
2.1 General configuration
Figure 2 shows a typical schematic diagram of a network analyzer. We have shown the various necessary functions, but it should be noted that, depending on the device, not all of the components shown are necessarily included in the same unit.
A network analyzer generally comprises:
a) a microwave signal generation module (RF source such as a synthesizer or wobulator);
b) a module for separating signals into various channels, including microwave circuits: switching of incident power and separation of incident and reflected waves at the input and output of...
