Project: Network Analyzer Impedance Meter Add-on

 

 

Design Services Performed:

Description:

This simple network analyzer adaptor and add-on software turns any network analyzer into a sophisticated impedance analyzer.

  • Allows characterization of surface mount components over RF and microwave frequency ranges.
  • Used to develop accurate RF simulation models for Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors.
  • Accurately determine component Q factors and parasitic elements.
  • Verify manufacturers specifications.
  • PC Based software controls the analyzer and produces easy to read plots directly from S parameter data.
  • Simple to build, simple Open, Short and Load calibration.
