Figure 11-1 shows a block diagram comparison of the test configuration for the Vector
Voltmeter instrument method (left) and the Vector Network Analyzer (right) when used for
an S measurement. The Vector Network Analyzer (when equipped with Option 15) contains

not only the Vector Voltmeter receiver, but also the signal source and couplers that are
necessary for conducting both 1-port and 2-port measurements at a selected CW frequency.
