The signal separation devices separate the source signal into a reference path and a test
path. They provide attenuation for the source signal, RF path switching to allow forward
and reverse measurements, and external connections for the device under test (DUT). The
signal transmitted through or reflected from the DUT goes to the receiver for comparison
with the reference signal.
The receiver converts the source signal to a 4 kHz intermediate frequency (IF) for signal
processing, retaining both magnitude and phase characteristics. The IF is converted to
digital signals, which are processed into magnitude and phase information. The processed
and formatted data is finally routed to the display and to the GPIB for remote operation.
In addition to the analyzer, the system includes cables for interconnections and calibration
standards for accuracy enhancement.
