OPTION 211 IS RECOMMEDED FOR THIS OPTION (SOLD SEPARATELY)

Option 210 is the VNA time domain mode. In time-domain mode, FieldFox computes the inverse Fourier transform of the frequency-domain data to display reflection or transmission coefficients versus time.

What is included with N992Xa Option 010?

• S11/S21 in time domain. To get time domain data for all four S-parameters and full 2-port cal, order Option 211
• View both time and frequency domain data at the same time
• Low-pass, impulse, and band-pass modes
• Minimum, normal, and maximum window
• Gating

Setup parameters

• Time - Start, stop, center, span
• Gating - Start, stop, center, span, and on/off
• Numbers of points, velocity vector, line loss, window shape, independent control for all four traces

Time stimulus modes

• Low-pass step - Low-pass step is similar to a traditional time domain reflectometer (TDR) stimulus waveform. It is used to measure low-pass devices. The frequencydomain data should extend from DC (extrapolated value) to a higher value.
• Low-pass impulse - Low-pass impulse response is used to measure low-pass devices.
• Bandpass impulse - The bandpass impulse simulates a pulsed RF signal and is used to measure the time domain response of band-limited devices.

Windows

The windowing function can be used to filter the frequency domain data and thereby reduce overshoot and ringing in the time domain response.

• Windows - Minimum, medium and maximum, manual entry of Kaiser Beta and impulse width.

Gating

The gating function can be used to selectively remove reflection or transmission time domain responses. In converting back to the frequency domain, the effects of the responses outside the gate are removed. The results can be viewed with gating on and off, using two traces.

• Gate types - Notch, bandpass
• Gate shapes - Maximum, wide, normal, minimum
