The very latest in Vector Network Analysis (VNA) technology and innovation will be showcased by Anritsu (Stand 8) at European Microwave Week, offering a VNA to suit every application, from RF to Broadband, and for every budget and measurement scenario. During the show, Anritsu will display up-coming and new additions to the ShockLine and VectorStar product families, and demonstrating some of the latest developments in test and measurement.

These include:

E-Band Antenna measurement solution which take advantage of the compact, single connection approach of the MS46522B, ShockLine Performance 2-port E-band VNA.
E-Band Material measurement solution based on the MS46522B ShockLine Performance 2-port E-band VNA, in partnership with Fraunhofer FHR and University RWTH Aachen; the permittivity and permeability measurements by measuring all 4 S-parameters.
On wafer 110GHz measurements based on the world class VectorStar Condor, the smallest 110GHz module on the market, simplifying the connection and improving accuracy and stability.
ShockLine VNA family: from the RF one port “power sensor” size, up to the Microwave four ports compact model, with a range of sizes, performances and prices for every application.

The VectorStar series offers extreme high performance suitable for use in leading-edge research establishments. The VectorStar ME7838 Series is a Broadband VNA with the widest available single frequency sweep from 70kHz to 110, 125, and 145GHz, which when configured with waveguide mmWave modules will operate up to 1.1THz, providing a VNA platform with the widest available frequency coverage in the industry.

The ShockLine family of affordable VNAs deliver an unprecedented level of value and performance, including best-in-class dynamic range and maximum output power.

The new MS46500B series lowers cost-of-test and speeds time to market in numerous testing applications, including designing and manufacturing mobile network equipment, mobile devices, automotive cables, high-speed data interconnects and system integration components.

Anritsu will also demonstrate their Spectrum Monitoring systems which facilitate the identification and removal of interference signals that reduce network capacity.

Based on the family of MS2710XA Remote Spectrum Monitors, combined with the VisionTM software MX280001A, Anritsu offers a new platform of remote spectrum monitoring products designed for radio surveillance, interference detection and government spectrum policy enforcement.
