2- and 4-Port Vector Network Analyzers for testing passive Devices

Anritsu-MS46524A06 June 2014 – Anritsu introduced the ShockLine family of Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), which combine high accuracy, sensitivity and sweep speed with prices as much as 75% lower than those of traditional bench-top VNAs. The new instruments are intended for the testing of passive devices such as cables, connectors, filters, and antennas in a wide variety of engineering, manufacturing and education applications.

They can perform the single-ended and mixed-mode S-parameter measurements typically required for production testing of passive devices, offering frequency coverage up to 40GHz. They can also conduct path loss characterization of complex systems. Faults in broadband devices can be easily and quickly identified using a time-domain with time-gating option.

The ShockLine VNAs mark a radical departure from conventional VNA design, since they feature no display or keypad, and are controlled remotely by computer via a LAN or other connection. A small 2U chassis allows the VNAs to easily slide into rack configurations.

The space-saving design does not, however, compromise performance. For instance, the ShockLine MS46522A VNA features a 70µs/point sweep speed, >110dB dynamic range and corrected directivity of >42dB.

As well as the MS46522A series, Anritsu is today announcing:

• the Economy ShockLine MS46322A 2-port VNA, for measurements up to 40GHz

• the MS46524A 4-port VNAs for differential and multi-port device testing up to 7GHz

Prices for the new VNAs start at €10,000 for the Economy ShockLine MS46322A. The 2-port MS46522A is priced at €19,700 and the 4-port MS46524A is priced at €25,500. All are available to buy now.

All ShockLine VNAs support SCPI command programming and have software driver support, so they can be easily integrated into most programming environments. The ShockLine series also features a powerful graphical user interface for applications in which the VNA is connected to a touchscreen monitor, keyboard and mouse. A LAN interface provides more robust control and faster data transmission compared to USB and GPIB, respectively.
