Millimeter Wave Measurements with Vector Network Analyzers

Application Note Overview 

Growing demands from modern wireless communications, high-speed electronics, and aerospace and defense systems are driving RF engineers toward increasingly complex device characterization in the mmWave range. This document provides guidance on selecting the right measurement instruments and accessories, including proper interconnection, setup, calibration, and result acquisition. Both linear and nonlinear measurement quantities are covered. Learn how a vector network analyzer (VNA), together with the appropriate accessories, can be used to effectively address these measurement challenges.
