ABSTRACT
This paper describes a HP8510B Network Analyzer measurement system that has
been configured with 2.4mm coaxial connectors to take advantage of higher
resolution time domain measurements achievable by sweeping .045 to 40, or 50
GHz. High resolution provides improved ability to accurately identify closely
spaced discontinuities, which is critical to the successful design of next-
generation broadband components.
A comparison of measurement results is shown using the 2.4mm and K connector
to 40 GHz, and wi |
