By measuring across a wide frequency range, VNAs can create S-Parameters that fully describe the behavior of a circuit. This video uses a PicoVNA 106 to show the basics of what a VNA measures, how they work, and a brief overview of how to use one.&#10;I made a mistake on the explainer graphic for S-parameters. The annoying thing is that I think it was a really good explanation!<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuDoTgcwiWc"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MuDoTgcwiWc/hqdefault.jpg" alt="Instrument Basics: Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with PicoVNA | Workbench Wednesdays #49"/></a></p><p><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/MuDoTgcwiWc" title="Instrument Basics: Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with PicoVNA | Workbench Wednesdays #49" width="560" height="315" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuDoTgcwiWc">Watch this video on YouTube</a></iframe></p></description></item></channel></rss>
