Wow!
It's a real disaster, then, that our VNA cables lack those arrows that show the
preferred 'directionality' of the copper grains…and, how could we have done
without the so-important to-distortion 'Di-electric Bias System', that,
according to Audioquest:
"creates a strong, stable electrostatic field that saturates and
polarizes (organizes)
the molecules of the insulation. This dramatically minimizes nonlinear
time delays
and reduces dielectric-induced smearing of the signal"
I guess it goes to show that HP(Agilent/Keysight), R&S and Anritsu just don't
know anything about signal purity….
Live and learn!
