Industry-Leading, Single Sweep Frequency Span from 70 kHz to 145 GHz

Building on design experience of more than 40 years, Anritsu has now broken the RF barrier with the VectorStar

MS4640B Series — spanning from 70 kHz to 70 GHz in a single connector and 70 kHz up to 145 GHz in the broadband

configuration (with options to 1.1 THz using mm-wave modules.)

The VectorStar vector network analyzer millimeter-wave (mmWave) VNA series offers a new performance benchmark for

S-parameter measurements of RF, microwave, and mmWave devices. Anritsu now provides RF and Microwave engineers

now have access to a powerful measurement tool for performance analysis of devices ranging from transistors in an on-

wafer environment to communication systems in commercial or defense applications.

In addition to maintaining a peak level of measurement performance, each model can be upgraded to a broader

frequency range, higher port count, and have additional options fitted. You can specify the features you need today

and add new ones as needed in the future without fear of obsolescence or learning a new test system.

VectorStar VNA Features Include:

• Frequency coverage 70 kHz to 20 | 40 | 70 | 110 | 125 | 145 GHz with extensions to 1.1 THz

• Industry-leading broadband system with world’s best dynamic range, accuracy, precision, and stability

• Unique, low-frequency coverage to 70 kHz with up to 100,000 measurement points to achieve the best time

domain measurement accuracy
