Vector Network Analyzers
One of the most important measurement tasks in radio engineering is the analysis of electrical circuits. A network analyzer is an instrument that is designed to solve this problem with high accuracy and efficiency. The circuits that can be analyzed with network analyzers have a wide range of applications ranging from simple devices such as filters and amplifiers to complex modules used in communications satellites. PLANAR specializes in the development and production of vector network analyzers that combine the capabilities of scalar network analyzers that measure not only the amplitude components of the main characteristics of the system (gain, loss, standing wave ratio, etc.), but also allow measurements of the amplitude and phase characteristics of the system .
