Network Analyzer

The network analyzer performs complete characterization to measure Input Impedance, Insertion Loss (Attenuation), Near-end and Far-end crosstalk, Return Loss and Propagation Delay of cables and wires. The built-in or external S-parameter test set provides a full range and 4-parameter of magnitude and phase measurements.

Network Analysis measures both the forward (S11, S22) and reverse (S21, S12) characteristics of most twisted pairs and single/multi cord(s) coaxial cable with a single connection, and provides full two-port calibration for high measurement accuracy.

TDR Oscilloscope

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is a convenient way to evaluate impedance, rise/fall-time, and intra-pair and inter-pair skew values and variations along the wires and cables. Transmission quality can be analyzed in time domain just as the signal integrity of data signals is often analyzed in time domain. In today's R&D and mass production, our engineers use modeling tools to design these high-speed wires and cables. Once the wires and cables have been modeled, actual measurements must be made to determine if the modeling techniques were accurate. Modification can then be made to correct these characterization issues. Impedance tolerances are contained in the electrical specifications for many of today's digital system's wires and cables, such as SCSI, DVI, Serial ATA and many more.
