Anritsu introduces 43.5 GHz 1-port VNA

Anritsu Corporation has introduced what it says is the industry’s first modular 1-port vector network analyser (VNA) that supports measurement frequencies up to 43.5 GHz.

The ShockLine MS46131A USB VNA can be used to measure antennas and other 1-port 5G devices at sub-6 GHz, as well as in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. 8 GHz and 20 GHz models are also available in the series.

The VNA can be directly connected to the device under test (DUT), eliminating the need for interconnect cables. This could reduce test costs and improve measurement stability.

The MS46131A can be configured for each user session on a port-by-port basis, with a single PC able to control up to two 1-port instruments for dual site testing.
