Technical Data Sheet ShockLine™ Modular 2-Port PhaseLync™ VNA ME7868A 1 MHz to 43.5 GHz 2 Meters to 25+ Meter

Technical Data Introduction The ME7868A is part of the ShockLine™ family of Vector Network Analyzers from Anritsu. It is a modular 2-port VNA consisting of two ShockLine MS46131A 1-port VNAs synchronized with PhaseLync™ technology. The ShockLine ME7868A 2-port VNA is available in three frequency ranges: 1 MHz to 8/20/43.5 GHz, and is capable of S-parameter and time domain measurements. The two ShockLine MS46131A VNAs determine the instrument performance of the ME7868A as they become the test ports and provide the source and measurement capabilities for the 2-port VNA. The MS46131A is based...

Specifications ShockLine™ System Dynamic Range System dynamic range for an ME7868A, consisting of two MS46131A VNAs with a PhaseLync option, is calculated as the difference between High source power and the noise floor (RMS) at the specified reference plane at 10 Hz IF Bandwidth. High isolation mode is used.

ShockLine™ Specifications Frequency Resolution, Accuracy, and Stability

Specifications ShockLine™ Error-Corrected Specifications With calibration using TOSLN50A-8 or TOSLNF50A-8 N type connector calibration kits. Measurement Uncertainties The graphs give measurement uncertainties after the above error-corrected calibration. The errors are a worst-case contribution of residual directivity, load and source match, frequency response and isolation, network analyzer dynamic accuracy, and connector repeatability. 10 Hz IF Bandwidth is used. For transmission uncertainties, it is assumed that S11 = S22 = 0. A nominal amount of time drift is included in the computation...
