Vector Network Analyzer Systems up to 170 GHz
Accurate characterization of RF and mmWave components at extreme frequencies requires specialized measurement instrumentation. Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) have become essential tools for engineers developing next-generation communication systems, defense applications, and advanced research platforms. VNA systems extending measurement capabilities up to 170 GHz enable comprehensive analysis across critical waveguide bands from WR22 through WR6.
Technical Specifications
