VNA Issues - Understanding the Relationship Between Frequency Range and Time/Distance Resolution
A detailed explanation of tradeoffs between frequency range and time resolutions, overcoming potential aliasing issues, and distant to fault measurement example are covered.
About this course
Modern VNAs can make TDR measurements, such as determining faults in transmission lines. This is done using the inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) and error corrected data measured in the frequency domain. A detailed explanation of tradeoffs between frequency range and time resolutions, overcoming potential aliasing issues, and distant to fault measurement example are covered. Understanding the relationship between frequency range, number of display points and time or distance resolution will help you make the most accurate transmission line measurements possible with your VNA.
