Advancing 6G Testing: Dr. Joel Dunsmore’s Insights on Modern VNA Techniques
Posted on Thursday Apr 10, 2025 02:40 pm CDT
The Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) at ARRC hosted Dr. Joel Dunsmore on April 7th for his first Distinguished Microwave Lecture. His presentation was titled "Modern Methods for Component Measurements using Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) for 6G Test." The talk touched upon the important and unique features of modern VNAs for precision testing and measurement, especially at higher frequencies.
Dr. Dunsmore is a Keysight R&D Fellow working at the Santa Rosa Site. He received his Ph.D. from Leeds University in 2004. He was a principal contributor to the PNA family of network analyzers, with recent work in non-linear tests, including differential devices and mixer measurements, as well as modulated and spectrum measurements. He has received 36 patents and authored the Handbook of Microwave Component Measurements, 2nd Edition (John Wiley, 2020). He also has a YouTube Channel, @DrJoelVNA.
Thank you, Dr. Dunsmore, for the talk!
