GENERAL DESCRIPTION
T100+ Vector Impedance Analyzer is a device
to measure complex impedance at VHF/UHF
frequencies. This is accomplished by
injecting an RF signal into the target under
test connected to the SMA test port, and
measuring the amplitude and phase of the
reflected RF signal.
The reflected amplitude and phase are
calibrated with industrial standard 3-term
Open/Short/Load (OSL) calibration method.
T100+ Vector Impedance Analyzer can operate
from 100MHz to 170MHz (VHF), and from 400MHz
to 470MHz (UHF), with a 25KHz minimum step
size.

KEY DEFINITIONS
POWER : Press and hold this key
for two seconds to turn on or off
T100+ Vector Impedance Analyzer.
CONFIRM : Use this key to confirm
the desired selections and
frequencies entered.
MODE : In SINGLE FREQ, this key
is used to switch between the
following modes cyclically:
• SWR
• IMPEDANCE (SERIES)
• IMPEDANCE (PARALLEL)
• S11
In SWEEP FREQ PLOTS, this key is
used to switch between the
following functions cyclically:
• FREQUENCY
• Y SCALE
• ALIGNMENT
• STEP SIZE
ARROWS : These keys are used to
select the desired menu items or
options. They are also used to
increase or decrease the
frequency. Keep holding the keys
to increase or decrease the
frequency automatically. In
SINGLE FREQ, the step size is
fixed at 25KHz. In SWEEP FREQ
PLOT, the current step size can

be selected with the MODE key.
NUMERICS : Use these keys to
enter the desired frequency
directly. Frequencies within the
valid operating range will
automatically be aligned to the
25KHz steps. Frequencies outside
the valid operating range will be
ignored.
BACK : Cancel the current
operation and/or go back to the
previous menu.
