Vector Network Analyzers (VNA)
MS46322B Economy Vector Network Analyzer
The Anritsu ShockLine MS46322B series are economy vector network analyzers (VNAs) with frequency ranges from 1 MHz to 8/20/43.5 GHz. The series is based on Anritsus patented shockline VNA-on-chip technology, which simplifies the internal VNA architecture at high frequencies, reduces instrument cost, and enhances accuracy and measurement repeatability.
Key Features
- Guaranteed performance to 43.5 GHz with Extended K ports
- Ideal for testing RF and microwave devices, mmWave antennas, and other passive 5G components
- Fast sweep speed and wide dynamic range minimize test times and maximize throughput
- Excellent corrected directivity allows for less measurement uncertainty
- Time domain with time gating option grants easier and faster fault identification
- Industry-standard LAN interface for remote control is more robust than USB and faster than GPIB
- Standard removable hard drive provides additional security for military and government research users
- A common GUI and SCPI interface within the ShockLine family
- USB ports allow for easy connection to user-provided monitor, keyboard, and mouse
- Small 2U package makes for efficient use of rack space
- Universal Fixture Extraction (UFX) software option provides advanced de-embedding tools for test fixture extraction
