With DifferentialView mode stimulation for S-parameter measurements, the MS4640B helps engineers address the challenges associated with testing and characterizing components and subsystems designed for radar and high-speed serial applications.
PulseView enables design engineers and component manufacturers in the aerospace and defense industries to accurately test and characterize designs under pulse conditions. The industry-leading 2.5 ns resolution with 100 dB of dynamic range, along with independent measurement gates, provides exceptional clarity of results. It also allows users to view performance disturbances at the start/end and within a pulse that may have been previously missed by other systems. With a 500 ms capture time, it enables users to measure under long pulse repetition intervals or perform pulse-by-pulse measurements over a larger number of pulses.
An optional IF digitizer provides fast digitization for the PulseView application, as well as four internal pulse generators. Pulse generators can be used to modulate the devices under test (DUT) or one of a number of associated modulation test suites, also available. These features are complemented by an innovative graphical interface that simplifies measurement setup and increases user confidence that they are measuring under the correct conditions.
DifferentialView, along with an optional second internal 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 stimulation mode conditions. An innovative graphical user interface allows engineers to set changes and view results immediately without having to switch screens. When DifferentialView is used with Anritsu four-port test equipment, users can perform differential, common-mode, and mixed-mode S-parameter measurements.
The MS4640B retains all the inherent advantages of the VectorStar platform. VectorStar features high-performance measurement capabilities at frequencies as low as 70 kHz to achieve the high-precision S-parameter measurements necessary for accurately modeling devices in simulation applications. It delivers high-quality, low-frequency data that ensures accurate DC estimation.
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, using mm-wave modules from Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI) or OML, Inc., depending on the specific frequency range required.
IDA-3106 interference analyzer that also locates impulse signals
Narda Safety Test Solutions has added new features to the IDA-3106 Interference and Address Analyzer that allow for even faster and more reliable location of interference and unknown signals. It is possible to locate pulsed or sporadic signals using a scan...
