ME7838AX 2-Port Broadband VNA System 70 kHz to 125 GHz

The ME7838AX broadband configuration provides single sweep coverage from 70 kHz to 125 GHz. It consists of the

following items:

• MS4647B VectorStar™ VNA, 70 kHz to 70 GHz with Option 7, Option 70, and Option 80/81 or Option 84/85

• 3739C Broadband mmWave Test Set and Interface Cables

• 3743AX Broadband mmWave modules, 2 each

ME7838AX 2-Port Millimeter Waveguide VNA System 50 GHz to 1.1 THz

The ME7838AX mmWave configuration provides waveguide output from 50 GHz to 1.1 THz in waveguide bands. The

system can extend the broadband system or be configured to operate only as a waveguide system. It consists of the

following items:

• MS464xB VectorStar VNA, with Option 7 and Option 82/83 or Option 84/85

• 3739C Broadband/mmWave Test Set and Interface Cables

• mmWave modules, 2 each

ME7838A4X 4-Port Broadband VNA System 70 kHz to 125 GHz

The VectorStar ME783A4X system is similar to the ME7838AX system, except it is configured for 4-port measurements.

It consists of:

• MS4647B VectorStar VNA, 70 kHz to 70 GHz with Option 7, Option 70, and Option 81/85

• 3739C Broadband mmWave Test Set and Interface Cables

• 3743AX Broadband mmWave modules, 4 each

• 3736B Broadband mmWave Test Set and Interface Cables

• MN4697C Four Port Test Set and Interface cables

ME7838A4X 4-Port Millimeter Waveguide VNA System 50 GHz to 1.1 THz

• Industry-best broadband frequency coverage – starts at

70 kHz instead of 10 MHz and is operational from 40 kHz to

125 GHz.

• Industry-best calibration and measurement stability –

0.1 dB vs 0.6 dB over 24 hrs.

• Industry-best compact, lightweight mmWave modules for

easy, precise, and economical positioning on the wafer probe

station – 0.6 vs 7.6 lb and 1/50 the volume.

• Thin film multipliers, receivers, and couplers at the test port,

offering best raw directivity and providing excellent

calibration and measurement stability.

• The industry’s only available mmWave real time electronic

power leveling – eliminates time-lagging software correction

tables.

• Compatibility with all major probe stations.

• Kelvin bias tees for sense and force capabilities closely

positioned to the DUT.

• Can be upgraded to a 4-port 145 GHz version with the

addition of MA25300A modules.
