This also reduces the number of necessary calibrations for increased throughput and productivity as well as lowers cost-of-test.Įxcellent dynamic range of 109 dB at 110 GHz is achieved with the VectorStar ME7838E without the need for large amplification due to the integration of Non-Linear Transmission Line (NLTL) harmonic samplers. Removing the need for a MUX combiner results in true directivity, helping achieve improved measurement stability of 0.1 dB over 24 hours. The innovative design also produces best-in-class performance, which is necessary for today's high-speed on-wafer applications. Additionally, by using RF bridges as well as microwave couplers that share a common IF path and fully synthesized source in the base VNA, the VectorStar ME7838E broadband system provides extremely wide frequency coverage from near-DC to 110 GHz.


The design of the VectorStar ME7838E 110 GHz frequency extension modules eliminates the need for MUX combiners and reduces thermal variations. Unique VNA architecture is used in the VectorStar ME7838E broadband system to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional broadband systems, so engineers can create improved models for highly accurate characterization of devices.

Incorporating all the benefits of the VectorStar ME7838 series broadband system, including compact millimeter (mm-wave) modules, best-in-class stability and dynamic range, and fastest measurement speeds, the ME7838E addresses the challenges associated with today’s high-speed device characterization. Innovative Design of VectorStar ME7838E System Allows for Best-in-Class Performance in On-wafer ApplicationsĪnritsu Company introduces the VectorStar ME7838E Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) broadband system that provides frequency coverage of 70 kHz to 110 GHz in a single connection.
