Therefore? this chapter on usability for those RF design engineer, specially engineers designing the bulk of today electronics: consumer electronics and industrial electronics in IoT and M2M. The good news is that those instruments are available now well under 5000 Euro,? suddenly a lot of RF-engineers start looking at them as a tool they can really afford. It measures complex (transfer) impedances of 1-port (and depending on instrument also on 2-port networks) And RF is all about ? matching impedances? and ? getting networks to work together?, so you can imagine that a VNA can save you really a lot, lot of time.īut until recently VNAs costed a lot of money, like starting at 20K Euro, not the amount of money your manager would spend if you can not promise in writing it will save him or her money. One that will save you a lot of time solving problems you are even not aware of, but that can have a serious impact on the quality of your design, like unnecessary high? battery drain, malfunction, impaired range… It is one of those tools you do not know you are missing until you’ve got one. A VNA (Vector Network Analyzer)? is a very useful instrument for the IoT M2M hardware developer, because it helps you to measure and to check the most important part of the hardware design – the antenna and is transmission lines.
