EVENT DESCRIPTION:

This presentation covers the principles of measuring high-frequency 
electrical networks with network analyzers. You will learn what kinds 
of measurements are made with network analyzers, and how they allow you 
to characterize the behavior of your devices. The session starts with 
RF fundamentals such as transmission lines and the Smith chart, leading 
to the concepts of reflection, transmission and S-parameters. The next 
section covers the major components in a network analyzer, including 
the advantages and limitations of different hardware approaches. 
Finally, error modeling, accuracy enhancement, and various calibration 
techniques will be presented.

This NetSeminar is the fourth in a series of RF Measurement 
Fundamentals presented by Agilent Technologies.  Please look for 
future programs relating to RF Measurement Fundamentals over the next 
few months.
