Low Cost Nano Vector Network Analyzer (VNA)
Abstract — A small vector network analyzer (VNA) - available at a low cost - makes a true EMC engineers' pulse beat faster. NANO VNAs are that type of device - they are low cost- some can be bought for under twenty-six dollars on eBay or Amazon. They quickly analyze devices including antennas, displaying Smith Carts, phase changes, standing wave ratios, and impedance versus frequency for a device. NANO VNAs take a while to warm up - like all good electronics used to - but so do Time Domain Reflectometers TDRs. Join David Treharne and the Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Society as we delve into NANO VNAs!
Biography:
David Treharne has been an electrical engineer since 1989, with a BSEE from GMI Engineering and Management Institute, Now Kettering University.
