Key features.

  • Provides the widest frequency range in a single scan: 70 kHz to 110, 125 and 145 GHz, and up to 1.1 THz with the millimeter wave module.

  • ME7838A or E models can be easily upgraded to 145 GHz

  • The ME7838A4 system is a 4-port 70 kHz - 110/125 GHz wideband system

  • All models can be configured with corresponding millimeter wave modules up to 1.1 THz

  • Industry's best calibration and measurement stability: 0.1 dB vs. 0.6 dB over 24 hours

  • All models support the 3744x-Rx receiver module for noise figure measurements up to 125 GHz

  • Compact, lightweight millimeter wave module (0.6 lb vs. 7+ lb and 1/50th of the volume) provides low installation cost for small probe stations


 

Description

The VectorStar ME7838 series broadband system offers a high performance compact millimeter wave module with the best calibration stability in the industry. While other broadband systems still use technologies with poor raw directional performance in key frequency bands, the ME7838 Series is the only broadband system with better directionality in all frequency bands. The result is better calibration stability and better measurement stability, meaning longer intervals between needed second calibrations, allowing for accurate measurements and increased productivity.

The new ME7838D, together with the MA25300A millimeter wave module, takes high-performance broadband measurement system performance to a new level. This MA25300A module adds a waveguide band and incorporates the Anritsu-developed 0.8 mm coaxial connector to provide the world's first wideband vector network analyzer to operate beyond the W-band limit in a single scan.

The VectorStar ME7838A4 wideband system provides high-performance 4-port measurements using a compact millimeter wave module and the industry's best calibration stability. While other broadband systems on the market still offer only raw performance and negative directionality in key bands, the ME7838 series, which includes the ME7838A4 4-port system, is the only broadband system that offers raw directionality in all bands. The result will be better calibration stability and better measurement stability, and significantly longer calibration intervals for improved measurement accuracy and productivity. The new ME7838A4 takes high-performance 4-port bandwidth measurements to new heights with the introduction of the Anritsu 3743A mmWave module, which combines Anritsu-developed nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) technology in a small, compact, high-performance mmWave module. All VectorStar ME7838 broadband systems include an RF VNA architecture that uses a bridge instead of a coupler, thereby extending the lower frequency limit to the RF band (operable up to 40KHz) for near-DC analysis with excellent dynamic range.


Application Areas

Differential devices, coaxial RF connectors, antennas, switches, dual-signalers, UE front-end modules, RF (FAKRA) connectors, driver assistance radar, passive component testing, system calibration, differential path loss characterization, general S-parameter and time-domain measurements, simple active device test procedures: amplifier characterization, optoelectronic & electro-optical applications
