Anritsu has added the MA2808A high-performance waveguide mixer (60 to 90 GHz) to its MS2830A Signal/Spectrum Analyser series.

Combining the mixer with the MS2830A analysers in the 26.5 and 43 GHz configurations supports measurements for E-band (70/80 GHz) wireless backhaul, automobile collision avoidance radar (77/79 GHz), and other millimetre-wave wireless applications. The device supports millimetre-wave measurements that legacy harmonic-mixer and down-converter methods are unable to. The combination provides good sensitivity performance with a wide measurement span in a simple configuration, and achieves P1dB performance of better than 0 dBm and a minimum sensitivity of 150 dBm/Hz.

An additional (patent pending) function for extending the measurement span supports measurements up to a bandwidth of 7.5 GHz.
