Ditch the Switch for Multiport Measurements
白皮书
Traditional network analysis focused on simple 2 and 4-port devices with single functions. Today, modern, sophisticated technologies like RF front-end modules (FEMs), multiple-input / multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, and high-speed digital interconnects push the limits of network analysis.
Engineers responded to the growing needs of device test by expanding their traditional network analyzers with switch matrices to test multiport devices. They also added additional instruments to their setup to test other functions beyond S-parameters. These makeshift setups are challenging to scale up and adapt to changing test needs. To keep up with next-generation device test, you need fast, flexible, and scalable network analysis and RF test.
