What is IF bandwidth in VNA?

The IF bandwidth setting selects the bandwidth of the receivers. The IF bandwidth value takes value from the following series: 1 Hz, 1.5 Hz, 2 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz, 7 Hz, 10 Hz, 15 Hz, 20 Hz ... 1 MHz, 2 MHz. The maximum IF bandwidth value depends on Analyzer model (See corresponding datasheet).

What is intermediate bandwidth?

The bandwidth of the frequency that a carrier wave shifts to as an intermediate step in transmission or reception.

What is VNA speed?

The sweep speed refers to the time the vector network analyzer (VNA) requires to finish one sweep of the source signal and get all the selected data in a chosen frequency range. It is usually specified in terms of time per data point and the time required for a sweep is called cycle time.

What is resolution bandwidth in spectrum analyzer?

In spectrum analysis, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) is defined as the frequency span of the final filter that is applied to the input signal. Smaller RBWs provide finer frequency resolution and the ability to differentiate signals that have frequencies that are closer together.
