How to Make Multi-Port Measurements
With the increasing number of ports on components, testers need to perform accurate and fast multi-port network analysis. Optimizing the configuration of vector network analyzer (VNA) is the key to minimize test cost during the manufacturing stage.
SNA Extended N-port and Full-N-port Calibration Steps
SNA is connected with SSM switch matrix to expand into N-port network analyzer. For example, vector network analyzer SNA5032A is expanded to 16 ports by using switch matrix SSM5124A, and perform full 16 ports calibration.

RF component and system characterization is critical to emerging test requirements for all connected electronics.
Enhanced TDR Measurements with the SIGLENT SNA5000A Vector Network Analyzer
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is an important method for measuring cable and connection quality for high-speed transmissions.
Time Domain Analysis of RF Systems
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) and other modes of time domain analysis of RF signals enable engineers to study the effectiveness of communication systems and channels for high speed serial data transfer.
Calibration and RF Measurements using VNA Siglent SNA 5000A – four ports
The following are some recommended common practices when performing any RF measurement.
Mixer measurements with a Vector Network Analyzer
Mixers are typically 3-port devices that produce the sum or difference of two input frequencies. Most of the mixers are active ones require external power supply.
How to correctly use spectrum analyzers for EMC pre-compliance tests
