USB-based Vector Network Analyser

Anritsu has expanded its ShockLine family of vector network analysers (VNAs) with the introduction of the MS46122A series. Incorporating Anritsu’s patented shock line VNA-on-a-chip technology, the MS46122A low-cost, full-reversing, 2-port VNAs are packaged in a very compact 1U chassis and are optimised for ultra-cost-sensitive test applications in manufacturing, engineering and education environments.

The MS46122A series includes the world’s first compact VNAs with frequency coverage up to 20 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively. A third model in the ShockLine series covers 1 MHz to 8 GHz. The MS46122A ShockLine VNAs offer best-in-class performance in many key areas, such as speed, trace noise, stability and dynamic range. The analysers minimise test times and maximise throughput, making them well suited for testing passive devices such as cables, connectors, filters and antennas.

Externally controlled via USB from a user-supplied PC, the MS46122A VNAs do not contain an embedded computer or solid-state drive. Since there is no onboard data storage and all information is saved on an external user-supplied computer rather than the VNA, the MS46122A is suitable for secure area operation.
