How

the

HP

8752C

W

orks

Network

analyzers

measure

the

reection

and

transmission

characteristics

of

devices

and

networks

.

A

network

analyzer

test

system

consists

of

the

following:

source

signal-separation

devices

receiver

display

The

analyzer

applies

a

signal

that

is

either

transmitted

through

the

device

under

test

or

reected

from

its

input,

and

then

compares

it

with

the

incident

signal

generated

by

the

swept

RF

source

.

These

signals

are

then

applied

to

a

receiver

for

measurement,

signal

processing,

and

display

.

The

HP

8752C

vector

network

analyzer

integrates

a

high

resolution

synthesized

RF

source

,

transmission/reection

test

set,

and

a

dual

channel

three-input

receiver

to

measure

and

display

magnitude

,

phase

,

and

group

delay

of

transmitted

and

reected

power

.

The

HP

8752C

Option

010

has

the

additional

capability

of

transforming

measured

data

from

frequency

domain

to

time

domain.
