Network Analyzer- Short Manual In the experiment HP e5071 Network Analyzer, standards, thru and cables are used.

Figure 1. shows names and functions of the front panel for a 4-port analyzer . In our experiments we will be using a !-port "ersion of this analyzer.

Figure 1. #ames and functions of the front panel In the picture below you see the standard to be used in the calibration process. $here are letters %, & and ' written for each of the outputs which stand for open, short and load respecti"ely.

In 1-port calibration, calibration data are measured by connecting an %/0# standard, a &1%2$ standard, and a '%.3 standard to the desired test port. $his calibration effecti"ely eliminates the fre4uency response reflection trac,ing error, directi"ity error, and source match error from the test setup in a reflection test using that port.

Important #otes+

EFor the first part of the experiment you can use the standards to "erify that the calibration is done by connecting the standards and chec,ing the "alues read from the &mith *hart. E Fou can sa"e your data by pushing the &a"e)2ecall button at the I#&$2 &$.$0 part. .nd selecting &a"e $race 3ata from the touch-screen. Fou can name the trace as you li,e by selecting Input from the front panel from the touch-screen. $he sa"ed data can then be processed in a software li,e 7atlab . Fou can sa"e your data to a flash memory from D&;. E$o sa"e an image you ha"e to select &ystem>?3ump &creen 3ata and that will sa"e the image as E.bmp format. Fou can name the image as you li,e by selecting Input from the front panel from the touch-screen. Fou can sa"e your image to a flash memory from D&;. E -hile you are sa"ing a measurement it may be a good idea to select $rigger>?&ingle as this will freeze the measurement. .fter you are done reselect $rigger>?*ontinous .
