Most of us are familia r with units from Keysight or Rohde and Swartz that cost more than $50k. I s it really possible to get anything useful from one that costs just $300? The answer is yes. We use a low-cost VNA in our student labs\, teaching S ignal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) measurement processes. Profe ssor Bogatin will show you two important applications of this VNA for extr acting material properties and characterizing capacitors for Power Deliver y Network (PDN) applications. Whether you are a student\, a professional e ngineer\, or a lifelong learner\, a $300 VNA might be in your future.\n\nF ood and beverages will be provided.\n\nCo-sponsored by: University of Colo rado Boulder\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Eric Bogatin\n\nAgenda: \nAgenda:\n\n- 6 :00 - 6:30 PM Networking\n- 6:30 PM Welcome\n- 7:00 PM Introduce the Speak er\n- Presentation\n\nA parking code for lots 440\, 319\, 306 will be prov ided to attendees who register to attend this event:\n\nhttps://www.colora do.edu/map/?id=336#!ce/2739?ct/20989\,20990\,20991\,20992\,20993\,20994\,2 6118\,2739?mc/40.00563459437513\,-105.2595376968384?z/16?lvl/0\n\nRoom: EC CS 201 (Third Floor)\, Bldg: Rustandy Building - between the Engineering B uilding and the Leeds School of Business\, University of Colorado Boulder\ , 1111 Engineering Dr. \, Boulder\, Colorado\, United States\, 80309 LOCATION:Room: ECCS 201 (Third Floor)\, Bldg: Rustandy Building - between t he Engineering Building and the Leeds School of Business\, University of C olorado Boulder\, 1111 Engineering Dr. \, Boulder\, Colorado\, United Stat es\, 80309 ORGANIZER:dineandlearn@ieee-denver.org SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY:IEEE Denver Dine & Learn: Applications of a $300 VNA for Useful Sig nal and Power Integrity Characterization URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/444458 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="background: white\;"><span style="f ont-size: 11.5pt\; font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; color: #242424\;">De nver Section\, Rocky Mountain Magnetics Chapter\, and South Dakota School of Mines and Tech Student Branch would like to invite you to our Dine &amp \; Learn on Applications of a $300 VNA for Useful Signal and Power Integri ty Characterization.</span></p>\n<p style="background: white\;"><strong><s pan style="font-size: 11.5pt\; font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; color: # 242424\;">Abstract:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11.5pt\; font-f amily: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; color: #242424\;"> A vector network analyzer (VNA) is an essential tool to characterize interconnects.
