The ShockLine ME7868A family of modular two-port vector network analyzers (VNAs) can conduct full vector S-parameter measurements over wide distances of up to 100 m. Consisting of two MS46131A one-port VNAs with the PhaseLync synchronization option hardware and accessories, the ME7868A VNA uses the MS46131As as portable VNA ports to directly connect to the device […]

Practical measurement of feedback loops and their stability
Feedback is relevant not only to electronic circuits but also to all kinds of natural and human-based phenomena ranging from mechanical engineering to economics and finance. Feedback emerges when one or more system outputs are connected back to system inputs. If polarity is inverted, it is an instance of negative feedback, which in electrical circuits […]
Spectrum analyzer incorporates VNA functions
The new RSA3000N and RSA5000N Spectrum Analyzer extends the flexibility and capability of the UltraReal platform with a new Vector Network Analyzer measurement mode. The RSA5000N and the RSA3000N deliver the same performance specifications and feature set as the current RSA models but adds the VNA capability as a standard feature. With integrated Smith Charts, […]
Network analyzers incorporate high-performance signal generators for complex measurements
Enhanced PNA and PNA-X network analyzers contain a proprietary low-spurious direct-digital-synthesis (DDS) source, enabling users to take accurate measurements with less phase noise interference. With the clean source signals, users can perform two-tone IMD measurements with close tone spacing previously only possible with high-performance analog signal generators. The new DDS sources also enhance the performance […]
Vector network analyzer covers 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz range
The T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer enhances the existing T3 test equipment portfolio, adding to the affordable selection of test equipment that engineers, developers and schools can use to assemble a well-equipped test bench efficiently, reliably and within budget. “The introduction of the T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer is an exciting development as it expands on the […]

Handheld combo spectrum/vector-network analyzer with 100 MHz real-time bandwidth targets 5G, EW testing
The next generation of the FieldFox B-series handheld analyzer delivers measurement precision and bandwidth up to 100 MHz for wide-band, real-time spectrum analysis to enable 5G testing in the field. Accurate microwave measurements are becoming increasingly necessary in harsh and hard-to-reach environments spanning a wide range of conditions: day or night, rain or shine, hot […]
Vector network analyzers get modulation distortion app
The optional S93070xB Modulation Distortion application is now available for the PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer, which delivers a wide system dynamic range resulting in a lowe residual error vector magnitude (EVM). Traditional test setups, especially for 5G power amplifiers and beamformer integrated circuit design, verification and production, are complex and can introduce a wide range […]
