Using an antenna analyzer as a network analyzer...

[Deleted]

I've searched the Web, but I can find no mention of using a common USB antenna analyzer (such as the Mini60/SARK-100 with software) to graph the band-pass of an HF filter. To me, it seems like a no-brainer, but perhaps I'm missing something critical here:

Antenna analyzer-->LPF/HPF/BPF circuit-->50 Ohm termination.

Sure is cheaper than a network analyzer, vector OR scalar!!!! Thoughts?

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

The AIM4170 and it's related family members, like the AIM4300, can be used to determine the bandwidth (3 or 6 db points) of a filter. The measurement of the attenuation in the stop-band is limited to about 30 to 40 dB because the signal has to travel through the filter twice and this reduces the dynamic range.
