Abstract: The present disclosure provides a measurement application device, comprising a number of signal measurement paths, each one of the number of signal measurement paths comprising a plurality of signal processing components, and a scheduler coupled to the number of signal measurement paths, wherein the scheduler is configured to selectively control at least one of the signal measurement paths depending on a selected one of a number of operating modes to power down at least one of the signal processing components, or to power up at least one of the signal processing components. The present disclosure further provides a measurement application setup and a respective method.

Abstract: A vector network analyzer configured to analyze a high-frequency signal received is described. The vector network analyzer includes three or more reflectometers, each reflectometer operating at a respective frequency range and having a first terminal and a second terminal. The reflectometers are connected with each other in series such that a combined frequency range of the vector network analyzer is established. A first reflectometer is connected to one of a load or a signal source via its first terminal. A last reflectometer is connected to a test port via its second terminal. At least two reflectometers are interconnected with each other by an interposed frequency selective absorptive filter.
