VectorStar Broadband VNA ME7838 Series

• The ME7838AX or ME7838EX version can easily be upgraded to 145 GHz and to 220 GHz
• All versions may be configured to include banded millimeter-wave modules up to 1.1 THz
• Industry-best calibration and measurement stability: 0.1 dB vs 0.6 dB over 24 hrs.
• All versions support the 3744x-Rx receiver for noise figure measurements, including the ability to characterize differential noise figure, to 125 GHz
• Compact, lightweight mmWave modules (0.6 lb vs 7+ lbs and 1/50 the volume) offer low cost installation on smaller probe stations.

Spectrum Analyzer Option

• SPA available from 70KHz to 20/40/70/110/125/145 and 220GHz. Also available for banded configuration to 1.1THz.
• Dual SPA mode available: suitable for Mixers/Amplifier/ Harmonics /Spurious testing.
• SPA available on all ports. User can define which port to use as SPA port.
• Several detection types available in classical mode: Peak, minimum, RMS, Mean.
• Various math functions can be applied on SPA mode like Min hold/max hold/ user defined equations.
• Sources and receivers can be independently configured. Can be used as Tracking Generator.
• For units that have a dual source, a dual drive option is available. Support for external source control also possible.
• Phase synchronization for units with Dual source available. This feature allows users to control and configure the phase between the two sources.
• Source and receiver attenuator available with VNA can be activated in SPA mode. Recommendation to use option 62 (with attenuator on receiver side) for measuring the spectrum content of high-power devices.
• Software option: easy to install and upgrade existing user equipment.
