Low frequencies wavelengths >> wire length current (I) travels down wires easily for efficient power transmission measured voltage and current not dependent on position along wire
High frequencies wavelength or << length of transmission medium need transmission lines for efficient power transmission matching to characteristic impedance (Zo) is very important for low reflection and maximum power transfer measured envelope voltage dependent on position along line

Transmission line Zo
Zo determines relationship between voltage and current waves Zo is a function of physical dimensions and er Zo is usually a real impedance (e.g. 50 or 75 ohms)

Network analyzers:
Spectrum analyzers:
measure components, devices, circuits, sub-assemblies contain source and receiver display ratioed amplitude and phase (frequency or power sweeps) offer advanced error correction
measure signal amplitude characteristics carrier level, sidebands, harmonics...) can demodulate (& measure) complex signals are receivers only (single channel) can be used for scalar component test (no phase) with tracking gen. or ext. source(s)
