Denver Section, Rocky Mountain Magnetics Chapter, and South Dakota School of Mines and Tech Student Branch would like to invite you to our Dine & Learn on Applications of a $300 VNA for Useful Signal and Power Integrity Characterization.
Abstract: A vector network analyzer (VNA) is an essential tool to characterize interconnects. Most of us are familiar with units from Keysight or Rohde and Swartz that cost more than $50k. Is it really possible to get anything useful from one that costs just $300? The answer is yes. We use a low-cost VNA in our student labs, teaching Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) measurement processes. Professor Bogatin will show you two important applications of this VNA for extracting material properties and characterizing capacitors for Power Delivery Network (PDN) applications. Whether you are a student, a professional engineer, or a lifelong learner, a $300 VNA might be in your future.
Food and beverages will be provided.
