How This Is Dierent From Impedance Conversion in the Network

Analyzer Mode

The network analyzer part of the 4396B has an impedance conversion feature that converts the

reection coecient to impedance

If the DUT impedance is equal to the characteristic impedance

. The reection is determined by the impedance of the DUT

Z=R

100

0

1+0

(0101)

, there is no reection. When

.

the impedance is an innite value like OPEN, the all input signal is reected. This means,the

reection signal level covers all impedance range (50 to innite) by the output level. Thus,the

reected signal level dierence is very small when compared to the impedance dierence in

the higher impedance ranges.
