An Introduction to Vector Network Analysis: Impedance, VSWR, and the Smith Chart
Join us for a webinar introducing vector network analysis measurements and key fundamental concepts like Impedance, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Return Loss and Reflection Coefficient and how they are inter-related.
This webinar will also introduce the Smith chart and how it is an important tool for visualization reflection. We will conclude with a demonstration of these fundamental concepts on a Rohde and Schwarz ZNB Vector Network Analyzer.
