There are several reasons to characterize RF components under pulsed conditions. Often it is to prevent thermal damage to the device under test or to characterize it under operating conditions. Vector Network Analyzers offer integrated hardware and software for accurate device characterization under pulsed conditions. This hardware includes built-in pulse modulators, pulse generators and synchronization IO including for external device control.

Options for characterizing frequency-converting devices such as mixers, block upconverters and downconverters, T/R modules and others.

Noise figure measurement with vector network analyzers

The FFT-based spectrum analysis function can be used to measure a DUT's spurious and harmonics, providing short sweep times along with high dynamic range and fine frequency resolution. It quickly detects undesired signal components (spurious) in converters and T/R modules. The marker-to-spectrumfunction directly gets to the root of problems in the event of unexpected S-parameter results, thus providing fast and extremely useful integrated diagnostics.
