N8222BW

The N8222BW (NW8222BW) is a sweeping frequency network analyzer designed for the measurement of the response characteristics of active and passive radio frequency (RF) networks. It is capable of performing a variety of measurements, including input/output level measurements, evaluations of noise, harmonic distortion, gain, frequency response, signal modulation, and linearity and accuracy of various components.

The N8222BW is designed for use in both static and dynamic applications, with a wide frequency range of 500 kHz to 6.5 GHz. It allows for both manual and automated measurements, and is capable of operating in the swept mode under long integration time settings, with high linearity and accuracy, making it suitable for measuring a range of components including capacitors, inductors, transistors, and resistors. It is also capable of performing differential measurements, which can be used to diagnose issues at the circuit level.

The N8222BW is capable of measuring a variety of parameters, such as Return Loss, S-parameters, Gain/Loss, Noise Factor, Group Delay, and IP3. The unit features a host of internal filters to limit its measurement range and to ensure accuracy, and an internal spectrum analyzer to facilitate measurements of frequency response. In addition, the unit includes features such as auto-gain, trigger selection, and data logging.

The working principle of the N8222BW is based on an electric sweep of the electrical field generated by the test signal\'s frequency. The sweeping frequency generator serves to sweep the field around the test device, and the response of the device is measured as it passes through the electric field. The generator sweeps the signal in a linear direction from low to high frequency and records the return levels and relative phase shift along the way. This data is then used to generate the response curve of the device. This response curve can then help diagnose issues with the device.

The N8222BW is used in a variety of applications, including television, amplifiers, mobile communication, wireless communication, radar, radio broadcasting, and satellite communications. It is a versatile and reliable tool that can be used for a range of different measurements. It is suitable for both laboratory and in-the-field applications, and its small size and light weight make it convenient to use in a variety of environments. Its high accuracy and wide frequency range make it ideal for measuring the electrical characteristics of active and passive networks.
