Overview
In this section, the fixture simulation function is explained based on an
evaluation example for a DUT (balanced SAW filter) with a balanced port.
Measurement Circuit Example: DUT with Balanced Port
The following figure shows an example of a measurement circuit used to
evaluate a balanced SAW filter. DUT port 1 is an unbalanced port
connected to source impedance R
2 is a balanced port connected to an output matching circuit (C
L
) and load resistance R

Evaluation Using Actual Test Fixture
Generally, a test fixture as shown in the following figure is fabricated for
evaluating the characteristics of a DUT in a measurement circuit by using a
network analyzer.
In typical use, a network analyzer performs measurements at a 50 ohm
port reference impedance and in a single-ended (unbalanced) state.
Therefore, DUT port 1 can be connected directly to the test port of the
network analyzer.
