PSMA-04-f Demonstration of measuring a 33 Ohm line with a 50 Ohm VNA

  • How to measure the return and insertion loss of a non 50 Ohm transmisoisn line with 50 Ohm ports
  • ALWAYS use 50 Ohm port impedances on the VNA
  • One of the few cases where it is ok to change the port impedance and how to do it simply and easily
  • What a 33 Ohm transmission line looks like initially
  • What a 33 Ohm transmission line looks like with re-normalized ports
  • How to use de-embedding to remove the launch discontinuities
  • The return and insertion loss of a unifrom 33 Ohm transmission line in a 33 Ohm environment
