VNA0460 update, Time Domain Measurements added

A VNA measures impedance and gain over a frequency sweep and is typically used to measure antennas, and antenna circuits and finetune them for optimal performance.

There are math functions, the Fourier Transform, that can convert this frequency information to the Time Domain, to analyze the properties over time and distance.

The TDR functions of the MegiQ VNA software make it possible to measure the impedance of a cable or circuit as a function of the time, or distance, in the network.
This allows analysis of the impedance at certain spots in a cable or a PCB trace.

In the TDR graph it is easy to see if there are impedance jumps, like a short or open in the cable, and how far from the VNA they are.

For example a damaged coax can show a slight or large impedance variation along its length which also impacts your RF performance.
Using the VNA these kinds of flaws in your Wireless application can be detected and resolved.

Make an appointment to measure your impedance and gain at the TOP lab.
 

Android Wi-Fi & Bluetooth smart module - Quectel

The SG865W-WF is Quectel’s new generation of Android smart module with built-in octa-core high-performance Kryo 585 CPU, Adreno 650 GPU, Adreno 995 DPU, Adreno 665 VPU, Hexagon DSP, and Spectra 480 ISP.
