6.1 Measurement Classes
Measurement Classes are categories of measurements that can coexist on a channel. Measurements in a measurement class can not coexist in a channel with a measurement of a different measurement class. For example, a Spectrum Analyzer measurement can NOT reside in a channel that is currently hosting Scalar Mixer Measurements. And Measurement classes vary according to the Vector Network Analyzers model and options installed. Press the Meas> “S-Params” > “Mode…” to enter the Measurement class dialog, and the box shows the supported classes for Vector Network Analyzers unit. except the “Standard (VNA)” class, all other measurement classes are commonly called “Applications measurement class”. Measurement class dialog box shows the supported classes for Vector Network Analyzers unit. The supported classes depends on the product and installed options. As figure below.

A default measurement for that class is created in the channel.
6.2 Measurement parameters
6.2.1 S parameters
S parameters are used to describe the degree of a transmitted or reflected signal through an impedance discontinuity. S parameters are relative measurements, defined as the ratio of two complex voltages. They contain the amplitude and phase information of the relevant signals. For the 2-port vector network analyzer, there are 4 S parameters (S11, S21, S12, S22). The specific meaning of each S parameter can be described by the following items: Sxy x,y(1,2):
x: The response port is also known as the receiving port of the vector network analyzer. The transmitted signal enters the port after passing through the DUT.
y: The excitation port is also known as the transmitting port of the vector network analyzer. The output signal of this port is provided to the DUT.
Here is a list of common Measurements with S-Parameters:

6.2.2 Balanced Measurement
6.2.2.1 Balanced Devices Standard Single-ended devices generally have one input port and one output port. Signals on the input and output ports are referenced to ground. As Fig2.1 Balanced devices have two pins on either the input, the output, or both. The signal of interest is the difference and average of the two input or output lines, not referenced to ground, as Fig2.2.

Differential and Common Modes Model On balanced devices, the signal of interest is the difference and average of the two input or output lines. In balanced device terminology, these signals are known as the Differential and Common modes. Signal A is fixed at 1V peak Signal B is selectable Differential is calculated as A minus B Common is calculated as the average of A and B

6.2.2.2 Measuring Mixed Mode (Balanced) S-Parameters
The mixed mode S parameter is an extension of the conventional S parameter for balance measurement. If the measuring device is a balanced device, its mixed mode parameters can be measured by the VNA. Some balanced devices are designed to amplify the differential component and reject the common component. This allows noise that is common to both inputs to be virtually eliminated from the output. For example, a balanced device may amplify the differential signal by a factor of 5, and attenuate the common signal by a factor of 5. Using traditional S-parameter notation, an S21 is a ratio measurement of the device Output/ device Input. Mixing this with balanced terminology, we could view the amplifier’s Differential Output signal/ Differential Input signal. To see this parameter on the analyzer, we would select an Sdd21 measurement using the following balanced notation:

6.2.2.3 Measuring Imbalance Parameters
Imbalance is a measure of how well two physical ports that make up a balanced port are matched. With a perfectly balanced port, the same amount of energy flows to both ports and the magnitude of the ratio of these ports is 1. The notation is similar to traditional S-parameters. In the following diagrams, the letters a, b, c, and d are used because any analyzer port can be assigned to any logical port using the port mapping process.
For example, in the following single-ended – balanced formula, Sba indicates the device output port is

6.2.2.4 Measuring CMRR
CMRR is a ratio of the transmission characteristic in differential mode over the transmission characteristic in the common mode of the balanced port as the measurement parameter. A high value indicates more rejection of common mode, which is desirable in a device that transmits information in the differential portion of the signal. On the measurement balanced parameter TAB interface, click “Change” to set the DUT topology and port mapping relationship. Different DUT topologies lead to different CMRR parameters.

“Logical Port” is used to describe a physical analyzer test port that has been remapped to a new port number.
1. Map any two physical ports of the vector network analyzer to a balanced logical port.
2. Map any physical port of the vector network Analyzer to a single-ended logical port.
These selections apply to ALL measurements in the channel. If the device topology is changed, any existing measurements in the channel that are incompatible with the new topology will be automatically changed to one that is compatible.
The following are the topological relationships of several common differential devices. A multi-port vector network analyzer can be used to measure the following topological relationships for differential devices. When the vector network analyzer has only 2 test ports, then only the first balanced device under test can be tested. When the vector network analyzer has four test ports, then all the devices under test with the following four topological relationships can be tested.

Press Sweep, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the Sweep Number of Points parameter item, Enter the number of points required, Press ENTER to exit editing mode. The number of data points collected by the vector network analyzer during the measurement sweep can be set to any number between 1 and 100001.
Note: Maximum point limits may differ for some measurement classes. For maximum trace resolution, use the maximum data points. For faster throughput, use a minimum number of data points to provide an acceptable resolution. To get the best number of points, look for values that do not differ significantly in the
measurement as you add points. To ensure accurate measurement calibration, ensure that the user uses the same number of
points for calibration and measurement. Points are the number of data items collected in one sweep. This number can be set separately
for each channel. To obtain high trace resolution for excitation values, select a larger point value. For high throughput, keep the smaller point value within the allowable trace resolution range. For high measurement accuracy after calibration, use the same number of points as the actual
measurement.

These settings determine the number of trigger signals that the channel will receive. Hold trigger: The channel does not accept any trigger signals. Single trigger: The channel receives a trigger signal and then enters the “hold” state. Another
way to trigger a single measurement: Set the trigger source to “manual” and send a manual trigger. At this point, however, all channels are set to single trigger. Continuous trigger: Channels accept an unlimited number of trigger signals. Hold all channels: All channels enter the hold state and do not accept any trigger signals. Restart: (Accessible only from the Trigger menu.) Channels that are in the Hold state are set to be triggered once (The channel accepts a single trigger signal). All other Settings are unaffected. A single trigger: The channel receives a trigger signal and then enters the “hold” state. Another way to trigger a single measurement is to set the trigger source to “manual” and send a manual trigger. At this point, however, all channels are single. Restart: Stops the currently sweeping Channel, and re-sweep when a new trigger signal is received. Examples: 1. When the trigger source is internal trigger and the trigger mode is “Single” or “Continuous”, click the “Restart” then the trace will re-sweep from the first frequency point. 2. When the trigger source is Manual/External/Bus and the trigger mode is “Single” or “Continuous”, click the “Restart” will stops the currently sweeping and re-sweep when a new trigger signal is received. 3. When channel in Hold mode, click the “Restart” does not do anything. 4.

These settings determine the number of trigger signals that the channel will receive. Sweep trigger: Each “manual” or “external” trigger causes all traces of the shared source port to
be swept in the order specified below. In the case of a “single” trigger, the count decrements by 1 after sweeping all traces in all directions. Point trigger: Each “manual” or “external” trigger results in a measurement of a data point. Subsequent triggers go to the same trace until it completes, the other traces in the same channel are then swept in the order specified below. If it is a “single” trigger, the count decreases by 1 after measuring all data points on all trace lines in the channel. When multi-port calibration is on (requires multi-direction sweeping), the trace on the screen will not be updated until all relevant directions have been swept. For example, when all four 2-port S parameters are displayed: a) If full 2-port calibration is on, triggering 1 will cause no trace to be updated. b) When the calibration is off, triggering 1 will cause S11 and S21 updates. Trigger 2 will cause
updates to S22 and S12.
Trace sweep order: For all trigger modes, the trigger signal remains in the same channel until all traces in this channel have been swept, and then continue to trigger the next channel that is not in the “hold” state. The traces within each channel are always swept in the following order: The trace on the screen will not be updated when the multi-port calibration is turned on (requiring multi-direction sweeping) until all relevant directions have been swept.
For example, when all four 2-port S parameters are displayed: a) If full 2-port calibration is on, triggering 1 will cause no trace to be updated; Triggering 2 causes all S parameters to be updated. b) When the calibration is off, triggering 1 will cause S11 and S21 to be updated; Triggering 2 will cause S22 and S12 to be updated.

6.6.6 External and auxiliary triggers
Both external and auxiliary triggers are used to synchronize the triggers of the vector network analyzer with those of other devices. Overview: Ready signal and trigger signal: Ready signals are different from trigger signals. The ready signal is used to indicate that the transmitting instrument is ready for measurement. The instrument receiving the ready signal then sends a trigger signal indicating that the measurement will be made or that the measurement has been completed. Usually, the slower instrument sends the trigger signal. Measurement trigger input: This signal is easy to use, but has limited configuration capabilities. Auxiliary trigger outputs: Connectors and signals are highly configurable and can be used to
synchronize with any number of devices.
Measurement trigger input
The trigger input connector is located on the back panel of the vector network analyzer. These signals can be used when the vector network analyzer communicates with slower instruments.
Operating Steps: The vector network analyzer sends a “ready” signal when it is ready for measurement The external device sends a trigger signal to the vector network analyzer when it is ready for
measurement Additional signals are provided on the vector network analyzer processor I/O to indicate that the
vector network analyzer sweep has been completed and the processor can be set for the next measurement.
To make the vector network analyzer respond to measured trigger inputs or processor I/O signals, select External on the “Trigger Settings” tab on the “Source” Settings. Also, on the Trigger Settings tab, on the Range Settings, select whether an external trigger applies to all channels (global) or one channel (local). The appropriate settings to apply are as follows:
Main trigger input:
Global/ channel trigger delay – after receiving an external trigger, the start time of the sweep will be delayed by the specified amount of time plus any inherent delay.
www.siglent.com
67
SNA6000A User Manual When the trigger scope is “channel”, the delay value is applied to the specified channel. When the Trigger Range is Global, the same delay value is applied to all channels.
The vector network analyzer receives the trigger input signal through the following connectors: Measure trigger input BNC connector: Trigger input on the rear panel. Processor I/O Pin 18 (needs to be changed).
Polarity:
High level: When the vector network analyzer is ready (trigger ready) and the TTL signal on the selected input is “high”, it triggers the vector network analyzer.
Low level: When the vector network analyzer is ready (trigger ready) and the TTL signal on the selected input is “low”, it triggers the vector network analyzer.
Positive edge: When the vector network analyzer is ready, it will trigger on the next positive edge. When set to accept a trigger before ready, if a positive edge has been received since the last data acquisition, the vector network analyzer will trigger immediately after ready
Negative edge: When the vector network analyzer is ready, it will trigger on the next negative edge. When set to accept the trigger before ready, if a negative edge has been received since the last data acquisition, the vector network analyzer will trigger immediately after ready.
After receiving the trigger selection before being ready, the vector network analyzer will move to the ready state (trigger ready), if any triggers have been received since the last data fetch, the vector network analyzer will trigger immediately and the vector network analyzer will remember only one trigger signal. All other signals will be ignored.
If this check box is cleared, any trigger signals received by the vector network analyzer before it is ready will be ignored.
This feature is only available when a positive or negative edge trigger is selected.
Auxiliary trigger
The auxiliary trigger connector is located on the back panel of the vector network analyzer. When the external source is configured as an external device, the vector network analyzer will automatically control all trigger settings. Do not set other trigger settings. The vector network analyzer will start measuring when it receives a valid trigger signal from the specified trigger source:
Inside: Measurements begin immediately.

www.siglent.com
SNA6000A User Manual
Manual: Press the vector network analyzer “Trigger” button to start the measurement. External: The measurement starts when the measurement trigger input signal is received from
the external device. This must be configured separately.
The “Auxiliary Trigger Output” signal can be configured to be sent just before the measurement is performed or just after the measurement is completed. When communicating with an external source, the “Auxiliary Trigger Output” signal should be sent after the measurement is completed to indicate that the external source can be set for the next measurement.
Enable: When checked, the signal can be output to external devices using auxiliary connectors. Channel: This setting is controlled by the vector network analyzer “Preferences” setting. Global: All secondary trigger settings apply to all channels. On the Trigger Settings tab, set the
“Each Point” setting, which also applies to all channels.
Channels: All secondary trigger settings will be applied to the specified channel and each channel can be configured individually.
Auxiliary channel output (to device):
The following settings control the properties of the signal emitted from the “Auxiliary Trigger Output” connector on the back panel:
Polarity: Positive pulse: the output pulse is positive. Negative pulse: The output pulse is negative.
Location: Before acquisition: Send pulses just before data collection begins. After the acquisition: Pulses are sent immediately after data collection is completed. Each point: When checked, trigger output can be sent for each data point, and when cleared, trigger output can be sent for each sweep. Select “Auxiliary Trigger” – “Global” vector network analyzer preferences, on the “Trigger Settings” tab, the “Dot” Settings are set. After that, this setting applies to all channels.

The dotted circle indicates the reflection coefficient. The outermost circle represents the reflection coefficient with a value of 1. The center of the circle represents the reflection coefficient with a value of 0.
The radial line shows the phase angle of the reflected signal. The right-most position corresponds to the zero-phase angle (that is, the reflected signal has the same phase as the incident signal). The phase differences of 90°, ±180°, and -90° correspond to the top, leftmost, and bottom of the polar display, respectively.
6.7.4 Smith circle diagram
Smith diagrams are a tool for mapping complex reflectance coefficients to test the impedance of equipment. In the Smith chart, the linear impedance plane is reshaped to form a cyclic grid from which the resistance and reactance (R+ Jx) can be read. You can use a cursor to display the following items: Resistance (in Ohms) Reactance as equivalent capacitance (in Ephraeras) or inductance (in Henrys)

Figure 6-6 Schematic diagram of Smith circle
Each point on the Smith chart represents a complex impedance (r±jx) consisting of a real resistance (r) and an imaginary reactance (x).
The horizontal axis (solid line) shows the real part of the difference between impedance and resistance. The horizontal axis always represents the system impedance. The rightmost value is infinite ohms (open path). The leftmost value is zero ohms (short circuit).
The dotted circle intersecting the horizontal axis represents a constant resistance. A dashed arc tangent to the horizontal axis represents a constant reactance. The top half of Smith’s circle is the region where the reactance component is positive and hence
inductance is generated. The lower half is the region where the reactance component is negative and therefore generates
capacitance.

Automatic scaling: Automatically sets the vertical indexing value and reference value to fit the working data trace in the screen grid area. The excitation value and reference position are not affected. The vector network analyzer determines the minimum possible scaling factor that will allow all display data to appear on the 80% vertical grid. The selected reference values center the trace on the screen.
All autoscaling: Automatically scales all data traces in the working window to fit vertically into the grid area of the screen.
Reference level: Sets the value of the guide in rectangular format. Range: -1000dB to 1000dB. In polar coordinates and Smith’s circle chart formats, and logarithmic scale type, the reference level does not apply.
Reference position: Sets the position of the guide in Rectangular coordinate format. Zero is the bottom line and 10 is the top line. The default position is 5 (middle of the screen). Reference positions do not apply in polar coordinates, Smith chart formats and logarithmic scale type.
6.8.2 Scaling coupling

6.8.3 Electrical delay
Electrical delay is a mathematical function that simulates the variable length of a lossless transmission line. Linear phase shifts through the device can be compensated using the electrical delay function. Use this feature to determine only the linear phase deviation of the device. Electrical delay can be set separately for each measuring trace. Operating steps: Press Scale, use the knob or arrow key to bring focus to the Electrical Delay parameter item. Press ENTER or Knob to enter the editing state. After the editing is completed, move the cursor to the specified position by up and down direction keys or Knob. Press ENTER or Knob to select the current option.
Delay time: Specifies the value of the delay added or removed, expressed in time or distance. This compensates for the linear phase shift through the device. Electrical delay can be set separately for each measuring trace. Speed coefficient: Specify the velocity factor applied to the device media inserted after measurement calibration. The value is 0.66 for polyethylene insulated cables and 0.7 for PTFE insulators.1 corresponds to the speed of light in a vacuum. Distance unit: Select meters, inches, or feet. When you change this value, the step size does not change automatically.
6.8.4 Amplitude offset and amplitude slope
The “amplitude offset” allows the amplitude (rather than phase) data to be offset by a fixed or slope value in Db. The amplitude offset setting affects only the work trace. If the display format is “Linear Amplitude” or “Real Number” (unitless), the dB is converted and the correct offset is implemented.
Operating steps:
Press Scale, use the knob or arrow keys to bring focus to the Constants Mag Offset / Mag Slope parameter item.
Press ENTER or Knob to enter the editing state. After the editing is completed, move the cursor to the specified position by up and down direction keys or Knob. Press ENTER or Knob to select the current option.
Amplitude deviation: Offset the entire data trace at the specified value.

SNA6000A User Manual
Margin slope: Offset the data trace by some value that changes with frequency. The offset slope starts at 0 Hz.
6.8.5 Phase deviation
Phase offset mathematically adjusts the phase measurement to a specified degree (up to 360°). This feature can be used in the following ways: Improved display of phase measurements. This is the same way as changing the reference level
in the amplitude measurement. Change the phase response to the center or align the response on the screen. Simulate Projection phase shift in measurements. For example, if you know that you need to add a cable and that the length of the cable will add a certain phase shift to the measurement, you can use a phase shift to increase the length and simulate the entire device measurement.
Key operation: Press Scale, use the knob or arrow keys to bring focus to the Constants Phase Offset parameter item. Press ENTER or Knob to enter the editing state. After the editing is completed, move the cursor to the specified position by up and down direction keys or Knob. Press ENTER or Knob to select the current option.
6.8.6 Divisions

6.8.7 Scale type
The scale types include linear scale and logarithmic scale, which are expressed as the scale distribution of the Y axis in the coordinate system. In a logarithmic scale type, the upper and lower limits of the Y-axis determine how the data trace is displayed on the VNA screen. The scale type can be set separately for each measuring trace. Operating steps: Press Scale, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the Advanced Scale Type parameter item. Press ENTER or Knob to enter the editing state. After the editing is completed, move the cursor to the specified position by up and down direction keys or Knob. Press ENTER or Knob to select the current option. Note: The logarithmic scale type can only be selected when the display format is linear magnitude scheme, real number format or imaginary number format. Other formats are linear scale type.
Scale type: Linear Scale Type Log Scale Type
Linear: Y-axis scale linear distribution. The display mode can be set by setting scale, reference level and position. Log: The Y-axis scale is logarithmic. The display range can be set by setting the maximum and minimum values of the Y axis. Max Value: Set the upper limit of the Y-axis in the logarithmic scale type. Min Value: Set the lower limit of the Y-axis in the logarithmic scale type.
6.9 Avg BW
6.9.1 Overview
The dynamic range is the finite difference between the maximum input power level and the minimum measurement power level (noise floor) of the analyzer. In evaluating a characteristic accompanied by a large change in the amplitude (the start and stop band of a filter for example), it is important to increase the dynamic range. The noise floor can be reduced by narrowing the IF bandwidth or turning on Sweep Averaging.
80
www.siglent.com
SNA6000A User Manual
For minimizing very low noise, Averaging is more effective than reducing IF bandwidth. Generally, Averaging takes slightly longer than IF bandwidth reduction to lower noise, especially if many averages are required. Also, changing the IF bandwidth after calibration results in uncertain accuracy.
6.9.2 Averaging
Averaging is a feature that the VNA averaging on each data point before stepping to the next data point. You determine the number of measurements by setting the averaging factor. The higher the averaging factor, the greater the amount of noise reduction. Averaging setting: Press the “Avg BW” key, then enter the Averaging and Bandwidth menu.
A. Averaging Enable. B. Sweep Averaging factor. (an integer
between 1 and 999) C. Averaging Restart. Restart the
Sweep Averaging from 1.
Figure 6-7 Avg BW menu
6.9.3 IF Bandwidth
The received signal of VNA is converted from its source frequency to a lower intermediate frequency (IF). Reducing the IF receiver bandwidth reduces the effect of random noise on a measurement. Each tenfold reduction in IF bandwidth lowers the noise floor by 10 dB. However, narrower IF bandwidths cause longer sweep times.
IF Bandwidth setting: 1. Using the Softkey for setting: Press the “Avg BW” key, Press “Avg BW” > Averaging > IF
Bandwidth > Enter the IF Bandwidth value.

6.9.4 Smoothing
Trace smoothing averages several adjacent data points to smooth the displayed trace. The number of adjacent data points that get averaged together is also known as the smoothing aperture. You can specify the aperture as either the number of data points or the percentage of the x-axis span. Trace Smoothing reduces the peak-to-peak noise values on broadband measured data. It smooths trace noise and does not increase measurement time significantly.
Smoothing setting:
Using the Softkey for setting: Press the “Avg BW” key, “Avg BW” > Smoothing then enter the Smoothing menu.
Figure 6-10 Smoothing menu
A. Smooth On|Off When is On, applies smoothing to the displayed trace.
B. Percent of Smooth: Specify the percent of the swept stimulus span to smooth. For example, for a trace that contains 100 data points, and a smoothing percent of span = 11%, then the number of data points that are averaged is 11.
C. Smooth Points: Specify the number of adjacent data points to average.
Tips: Start with a high number of display points and reduce until you are confident that the trace is not
giving misleading results. Do not use smoothing for high-resonance devices, or devices with wide trace variations. It may Smoothing is set independently for each trace.
