Measure Electrical Length and Loss of a DUT using Anritsu ShockLine VNA
3:37
This video explores how to accurately measure the electrical length and loss of a cable using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). Understanding these parameters is crucial for characterizing the performance of transmission lines in RF and microwave applications. We demonstrate step-by-step how to use a VNA to determine the cable's electrical length, which is influenced by its physical length and propagation characteristics. We also measure insertion loss, which impacts signal integrity. After watching this video, you’ll have the knowledge to apply these measurements in your own projects for optimal system performance.
