This video explores how to accurately measure a cable's electrical length and loss using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). Understanding these parameters is crucial for characterizing the performance of transmission lines in RF and microwave applications. We demonstrate step-by-step how to use a VNA to determine the cable's electrical length, which is influenced by its physical length and propagation characteristics. We also measure insertion loss, which impacts signal integrity. After watching this video, you’ll know how to apply these measurements in your projects for optimal system performance.
