Vector network analyzer features advanced pulse measurement capabilities
The instrument features new measurement capabilities, including PulseView, which provides pulse profile, point-in-pulse and pulse-to-pulse measurements of S-parameters, and DifferentialView for true mode stimulus S-parameter measurements. It is particularly suited to testing and characterizing components and sub-systems designed for radar and today’s high-speed serial applications.
The 2.5ns resolution with 100 dB dynamic range, coupled with independent measurement gates offer clear results. It also enables users to see performance perturbations on the rising/trailing edges and within a pulse that have been previously missed by other systems. A capture time of 500ms permits users to measure under long pulse repetition interval conditions or to conduct pulse-to-pulse measurements over an extended number of pulses.
An additional IF digitizer option provides fast digitization for the PulseView application, as well as four internal pulse generators. The pulse generators can be used to modulate devices under test (DUT) or one of a series of associated Modulation Test Sets also available. These features are complemented by an innovative graphical interface that simplifies measurement setup and raises confidence that the user is measuring under the correct conditions.
DifferentialView, together with an optional internal second source, provides engineers developing differential amplifiers or signal integrity engineers working on high-speed serial designs with the ability to evaluate their designs under true mode stimulus conditions. The GUI allows engineers to establish changes and see the results immediately without cumbersome swapping of screen displays.
VectorStar VNAs are available in frequency ranges from 70 kHz to 20, 40, 50 and 70 GHz, and as broadband systems from 70 kHz to 125 GHz. VectorStar can also provide frequency coverage up to 750 GHz, with mm-wave modules from either Virginia Diodes or OML, Inc. depending on the specific frequency range required.
