VNA Gating with Time Domain Processing

A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is typically used to characterize devices such as filters, antennas, amplifiers and other RF devices. The VNA makes S-Parameter reflection measurements. These measurements are sufficient to completely model the performance of any linear RF device. For instance, a Touchstone file containing a table of measurements may be dropped into a linear simulator program such as AWR as a component. The designer can then predict the performance of the device with various source and load impedances and at different frequencies. In addition, Time Domain Reflectometry or TDR measurement with a VNA is possible.
