VNA Frequency Extender

VNA Frequency Extender for Precision Measurements up to 500 GHz

The VNA Frequency Extender extends the measurement capabilities of your Vector Network Analyzer into the mmWave and sub-THz range. Supporting waveguide bands from WR19 to WR2.2, the system enables reliable characterization of RF components, antennas, and integrated circuits across the frequency range up to 500 GHz.

Key Features

• Frequency Range: WR19–WR2.2 waveguide standard with coverage up to 500 GHz
• Modular architecture: Separate Tx and Rx modules for optimized performance characteristics
• Low insertion loss and high dynamic range for precise VSWR and S-parameter measurements
• Robust waveguide connectivity for mechanical stability and reproducible results
• Compact design and fast calibration

Applications

• 5G/6G component and antenna measurement
• mmWave circuit development and validation
• SATCOM and Defense systems
• Sub-THz sensor and imaging technologies
• High-frequency material characterization
• Integrated circuits and chiplets in mmWave frequency bands

The extender is ideal for laboratories, research facilities, and production test environments where reliable measurement accuracy across the entire waveguide spectrum is required. The modular design allows flexible configurations for specific measurement bandwidths.
