Network measurements can be divided into two types - transmission through the network and reflection at the network's input or output port. Full two-port network analysis normally requires the use of a multichannel network analyzer and an s parameter test set. Simpler measurements, such as transmission-only measurements, can be performed with less sophisticated equipment.
