Hi All,
I have a balanced 50 ohm 915MHz filter on a PCB that I need to test. Would it work OK if I simply shunted one leg of the balanced filter's input and output with a 50 ohm resistor to ground, while sweeping the other balanced input and output with a VNA? Is this the easiest way to test a balanced circuit for gain and return loss with a typical VNA? (I have no room at all to place 1:1 baluns on my PCB for the (unbalanced) 50 ohm VNA).
Thanks!
