w2aew | #263: Using a VNA to sweep an RF Dummy Load | Tektronix TTR506A Vector Network Analyzer @w2aew | Uploaded July 2017 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
This short video shows how to use a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to sweep a dummy load to determine its usable frequency range. In this case, I test a Bird Termaline and an inexpensive ParaDynamics load. Setup, calibration and test are shown. The Return Loss S11 and the SWR are shown.
The analyzer used is the Tektronix TTR506A:
