NA (Network Analyzer) Mode
NA Mode Settings
S21 and S12 transmission measurements are used to measure the loss or gain
through a DUT over a specified frequency range. Both ends of the DUT must be
connected to the FieldFox. The FieldFox signal source is transmitted out one of
the test port connectors, through the DUT, and into the other test port
connector
How to measure S-parameters
1. Press Preset then
2. Press Measure 1 then choose from the following:
OR select a multi-trace configuration. Learn more on
Configurations" on page 95
3. Press Freq/Dist then either
4. Press BW 2 then
5. Press Sweep 3 then
6. Press Cal 5 to calibrate the measurement. Learn more in
7. All other settings can be made AFTER calibration without compromising
Mixed-Mode S-Parameters
In NA Mode ONLY, mixed-mode S-parameters (also known as Balanced
measurements) are available with Option 212.
Because the FieldFox has only two test ports, only reflection measurements are
available. Connect the balanced input or output of your DUT to the FieldFox
ports 1 and 2
For highest accuracy, a Full 2-port calibration is required.
