The network analyzer is the most complex, sophisticated, and versatile test
instrument used in RF test and measurement. Understanding how it works requires
a sound knowledge of the theory of electrical networks and the function of the
instruments. But users who only implement the network analyzer occasionally or
perform the same type of measurements on a repeated basis will appreciate the
book's practice-oriented approach and how it provides specific solutions for
typical tasks. With this broad audience in mind, the book is organized to be of
benefit to readers interested in theoretical aspects and those who want
practical information. The book's well-structured format makes it easy for
readers looking for practical information to quickly find the individual
chapters that cover the essential standard measurements. For readers interested
in basic principles, network analyzer theory as well as instrument design are
covered step by step, including the mathematical derivations required.
