70 kHz to 110 GHz vector network analyzer eliminates mmWave modules and coax combiners
The ME7838A provides engineers, designers, and researchers with a system that conducts highly accurate and efficient broadband device characterization of active and passive microwave/mmWave devices, including those designed into emerging 60 GHz wireless personal area networks (WPANs), 40 Gbps and higher optical networks, 77 and 94 GHz automotive radar, digital radio links, 94 GHz imaging mmWave radar, and Ka-Band satellite communications.
The ME7838A is also well suited for conducting signal integrity measurements on emerging high-speed designs, such as 28 Gbps serializer/deserializer (SerDes) transceivers used on servers, routers and other networking, computing and storage products. The ME7838A, equipped with the 3743A mmWave module, can accurately measure 28 Gbps SerDes transceivers at the higher frequencies required for proper analysis.
Real-time power leveling control provides power accuracy and stability to power levels as low as -55 dBm. With the ME7838A design, mmWave modules can be mounted close to or directly on the wafer probe. This advantage, as well as the fact that the ME7838A transitions at 54 GHz, gives the broadband VNA the widest dynamic range in its class, -107 dB at 110 GHz and 92 dB at 125 GHz, says the manufacturer.
