Overview

You can use the parameter conversion function to convert the measurement results of the S-parameter (Sab) to the following parameters.

•  Equivalent impedance (Zr) and equivalent admittance (Yr) in reflection measurement
  
  

• Equivalent impedance (Zt) and equivalent admittance (Yt) in transmission measurement
  
  

• Inverse S-parameter (1/Sab)

where:

Z0a: Characteristic impedance of port a

Z0b: Characteristic impedance of port b

• Z/Y Transmission Shunt
  
  
   

• Conjugation
  
  Conjugation converts the measurement value to complex conjugate number.
   

When the fixture simulator function is ON and the port impedance function is ON, the value set in the port impedance conversion is used. In other cases, the system Z0 (preset value: 50 ohm) is used.

Procedure

ON/OFF

1. Press Channel Next/Channel Prev keys and Trace Next/Trace Prev keys to activate a trace on which you want to use the marker.

2. Press Analysis key.

3. Click Conversion.

4. Click Conversion to turn ON the conversion function.

Selecting Conversion Target Parameter

1. Press Channel Next/Channel Prev keys and Trace Next/Trace Prev keys to activate a trace on which you want to use the marker.

2. Press Analysis key.

3. Click Conversion > Function.

4. Click the softkey corresponding to the parameter to which you want to convert the result.

When the conversion function is ON, the selected parameter is displayed in Trace Status Area.
