H Network, Spectrum, and Impedance Evaluation of Electronic Circuits and Components Application Note 1308-1 HP 4395A/HP 4396B Network/Spectrum/Impedance Analyzer 1 Introduction After making a prototype, a review of the circuit operation requires With the current trends requiring measurement of the following higher performance, smaller physical parameters: harmonics, noise, size, lower cost, and higher reliability, transmission characteristics, and fast cycle time is an increasingly reflection characteristics. The vector important part of the product design. network analyzer, and the spectrum This is true not only in the consumer, analyzer must be used for making but also in the communication and these measurements. The HP 4395A/ data processing industries. HP 4396B Network/Spectrum/ Impedance Analyzer Family combines As shown in Figure 1, the development three analyzer functions in one procedure involves designing the instrument. This application note overall architecture, evaluating describes how the HP 4395A/96B can electronic components, building be used to contribute fast cycle time prototypes, and evaluating circuit for product development. performance. From the design point of view, it is essential to measure the impedance characteristics of electronic components such as capacitors, inductors, or other devices at the actual working condition. An impedance analyzer makes it easy.
