This section provides a brief overview of the available options covered in this guide.
Note
Not all instrument models offer every option. Some options are available as a time-limited trial. For example, Vector Network Analyzer option is offered as a 90-day time-limited option by ordering Option 9904/9906. The option start time begins when the user first activates the option. Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet of your instrument for information on purchasing and activating time-limited options.
Time Domain with Gating (Option 2)
The Option 2 Time Domain feature provides the ability to transform the native frequency domain data (that is measured by the Vector Network Analyzer) into time domain or distance domain information to help in determining the location of impedance discontinuities.
Vector Network Analyzer (Option 904/906)
Vector Network Analyzers that measure the magnitude and phase characteristics of 1-port or 2-port networks, including cables, antennas, filters, isolators, attenuators, and amplifiers. The Vector Network Analyzer compares the signal that leaves the analyzer port (the reference signal) with either the signal that is transmitted through the test device (the transmitted signal) or the signal that is reflected from the input or the output of the test device (the reflected signal).
Other Options and Features
