  • Abstract
    The errors caused by using time-domain gating techniques on the HP 8510 automatic network analyzer are investigated systematically. These errors are divided into four categories: out-of-gate attenuation error, truncation error, masking error, and multireflection aliasing error. A method for estimating the order of the magnitude errors resulting from time-domain gating is presented. Experiments for supporting the analysis have been designed and carried out, giving results in good agreement with theory.<>
