Network Analyzer

Definition:

A network analyzer is an instrument that measures the network

parameters of electrical networks. Today, network analyzers
commonly measure s–parameters because reflection and
transmission of electrical networks are easy to measure at high
frequencies, but there are other network parameter sets such as
y-parameters, z-parameters, and h-parameters.
