Section 3.2.2.1.1 shows the network analyzer circuit that measures loop stability. In addition, a pair of differential amplifier (INA149) is used to remove high common mode DC voltage from the signal feeding back to the Network Analyzer. An isolation amplifier is used to generate the injection signal. The requirement of INA149 differential amplifiers is to remove high common mode voltage which exceed the input range of the Network Analyzer for gain and phase margin measurements.
