Network analyzer applying loss compensation using port extensions and method of operation

摘要

In one embodiment, a method of operating a network analyzer, comprises applying a stimulus signal on at least one port of the network analyzer for provision to a device under test (DUT) within a test fixture coupled to the network analyzer; generating measurement data from the DUT in response to the stimulus signal on at least one port of the network analyzer; and generating an amplitude response of the DUT across a frequency range, wherein a port extension module of the network analyzer automatically applies loss compensation to the amplitude response in a manner that is non-linearly related to frequency according to at least one controllable parameter.
