The VectorStar ME7838G4 from Anritsu is a 4-Port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) that operates from 70 kHz to 220 GHz. It performs measurements utilizing compact mmWave modules with industry-best calibration stability and includes broadband systems with positive raw directivity. This VNA incorporates the Anritsu MA25400A mmWave module which combines Anritsu’s Nonlinear Transmission Line (NLTL) technology in a small, compact high performance mmWave module for measurements up to 220 GHz. It can be configured to include banded millimeter-wave modules up to 1.1 THz.
The ME7838G4 has an option for a Spectrum Analyzer that allows convenient spectral domain measurements of quantities such as harmonics, spurs, distortion products, and general frequency content of a variety of devices. It also has optional Universal Fixture Extraction (UFX) software which provides advanced de-embedding tools for test fixture extraction. This VNA includes IMDView™ software coupled with the internal combiner option which offers the ability to switch from S parameters to IMD measurements in a single connection.
