We will kick the day off discussing VNA’s, where we will explore the principles of VNA calibration, laying the foundation for understanding how to achieve accurate S-parameter measurements. Understanding the significance of S-parameter accuracy is paramount in electronic device characterization, especially in high-frequency applications where signal integrity is crucial.

Through hands-on activities, you will learn how instrumentation choices, calibration methods, and individual components impact measurement accuracy. You’ll discover useful tips, tricks, and best practices to enhance accuracy while overcoming measurement inconsistencies, bolstering confidence in your test results.
