7. Measurements and applications
7.1 Passive or active components
The vector network analyzer is a measuring instrument capable of characterizing any passive or active microwave component, made on a coaxial line or waveguide, whether :
such as flexible and semi-rigid cables, adapters, attenuators, loads ranging from short circuits to open circuits and matched loads, directional and hybrid couplers, bridges, isolators and switches;
frequency-selective: like filters (band-pass, low-pass, high-pass and band-stop) and multiplexers;
frequency converters, such as ;
amplifiers, such as transistors, diodes and amplifiers (GaAs FET, bipolar, travelling-wave tubes, etc.)....
