5. Annex
This annex describes some basics about impedance measurement and the related
measurement tools.
5.1 Vector Network Analyzer
The impedance measurement must be done with a vector network analyzer, e.g. as
shown in Fig 49.
a. Rohde & Schwarz ZVL (refer to [11])
b. MiniVNA Pro (refer to [12])
Fig 49. Examples of Vector Network Analyzers
For the miniVNA Pro the recommendation is to use the VNA/J SW tool (refer to [13]), as
shown in Fig 50.
