Measure PDN on a budget

There are many good analyzers available for measuring PDN High performance VNAs are available from all of the major test equipment manufacturers, including Agilent, Tektronix, Teledyne Lecroy, and Rohde & Schwarz.  Most product lines include offerings of S-parameter measurements up to 40GHz or higher.

Many of these are above our price range While these are all excellent instruments, and I use them myself, we don’t all have a budget that can support such an expense.  There are other options available. If you only need an instrument for a short time, you might consider renting one from one of the many test equipment rental companies.  Depending on your measurement requirements, you might be able to make use of some lower cost instruments, two of which we will discuss in this article.
