Network Analyzer

Hellow!

Anyone has the experience on how to measure the resonator parameter by a network analyzer?

thanks!

Happybird,

I don't quite comprehend "resonator parameter".

Typically, I would be using network analyzers to do S-parameters analysis on a broad range of devices, and from there I can perform numerous evaluation (i.e gain, frequency check, linearity and etc).

In effort to fully utilise a network analyzer, you have to know what functions/options are provided and how do we call/configure them. Probably you can narrow down the model of the network analyzer. If I am familiar with it, I could probably provides more information to help you out.

Cheers,

Hi! JL Chew:

Thanks for you reply, The reason why i use network analyzer is that i need to know the impedence-frequency response for the resonator( a crystal disk which can vibrate when electrically excited). So when i use network analyzer to do a sweep frequency measurement, Is the Y-axis the impedence? how can i get the admittance-frequency response?

Mike,

If you are using Agilent E5071B ENA, there seem to be a function that does the parameter conversion. Refering to its user manual at Page 53, 226, 471 & 547, you are able to select the analysis for reflection impedance, transmission impedance, reflection admittance and transmission admittance.

I don't personally use other types of Network Analyzers and I haven't really use this feature before.

I hope these helps you out.

Cheers,
