Calibration, Smith charts, de-embedding, and reference plane rotation were just a few examples of many difficult test and measurement methods for using VNAs. Now, there are complete high-speed digital labs worldwide that utilize VNAs via the PLTS user interface. Creating productive test and measurement technology cen- ters with PLTS has translated directly into faster design cycles, earlier time-to-market and superior products.” Bill Rosas, president and CTO of Signal

Microwave: “Have a known good device available in the lab. This “golden stan- dard” can be used to verify the VNA is not the issue or troubleshoot issues where the VNA system is suspect. Tis includes cables, adapters, poor calibration, drift, settings left changed by previous users, and other issues that can occur with a system as complicated as a VNA.” Walker, Copper Mountain Technologies:


“VNAs are tools to solve RF problems. It is expected that the user interface will evolve over time to allow “solution-focused” mea- surements. New users will embrace an approach which makes their measure- ments easier. At the same time, we will always provide the means to make general measurements that an “expert” requires.” Oda, Anritsu: “We regularly add fea-

tures to our software to help users opti- mize ShockLine VNAs and create more efficient test environments that meet specific test requirements. We have a unique feature borrowed from the Anritsu handheld instruments called easyTest, which is a step-by-step graphi- cal tool that guides users through mea- surement procedures. Expert users can create easyTest scripts on a ShockLine VNA so that less experienced users can navigate complex VNA measurements for improved efficiencies.”


Market outlook


In September, Market Research Future published a research report that fore- casted the VNA market value over 2018 to 2023. Te report said the global VNA market value is expected to reach nearly $458 million by 2023. Te report states: “Te vector network


analyzer market is estimated to grow phenomenally during the forecast period.


S Keysight’s most recent VNA offering is its M9375A seen here, though it will unveil a new VNA at DesignCon.


Te global market is primarily driven on account of declining popularity of scalar network analyzer. Moreover, the market thrives on the back of its extensive appli- cation in automotive, electronic manu- facture and communication sectors.” The report cites strong recent VNA


market growth over the past decade is due to increasing demand for 3G and 4G technologies, along with market players striving to get ahead in their product development strategies and long-term vision. The report goes on to say: “It is safe to assume that the vector network analyzer market is expected to grow substantially due to increasing adop- tion of Internet of things and upcoming 5G technology. Design and development of devices used for 5G applications cre- ate an opportunity for VNAs. Another growing application in which VNAs play a crucial role is connected-car designs. Owing to these factors, the market is set to expand considerably during the fore- cast period.” Market Research Future named the


following vendors as “prominent play- ers” in the VNA market going forward: Keysight (U.S.), Rohde & Schwarz (Ger- many), Anritsu (Japan), Transcom In- struments (China), Copper Mountain Technologies (U.S.), National Instru- ments (U.S.), OMICRON Lab (Austria), GS Instrument Co. (Korea), Chengdu Tianda Instrument Equipment (China), HUBER+SUHNER. (Switzerland), and AWT Global LLC (U.S.).
