Anritsu's VNA provides measurement analysis from 70 kHz to 750 GHz

Anritsu Company and Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI) have announced a new level of millimeter-wave performance in the Anritsu VectorStar VNA series. Incorporating VNA frequency extension modules from VDI, the VectorStar product family now provides measurement analysis from 70 kHz to 750 GHz.

"Extending measurement analysis over a frequency range as wide as possible for device characterization and millimeter-band analysis has been an on-going goal of design engineers. We are excited to combine the widest broadband VNA in a single coaxial output with the millimeter-wave performance of the VDI modules. Extending the capability of the VectorStar VNA from 70 kHz to the Terahertz region using VDI modules provides the measurement community with a new dimension in VNA measurements," said Donn Mulder, Vice President and General Manager, Anritsu Company.

VDI President Thomas Crowe stated, "VDI is pleased to offer the compatibility of our VNA frequency extenders with the Anritsu VectorStar product line. Our goal is to serve the marketplace with millimeter to sub-millimeter wave sources and receivers. Combining our offerings with the VectorStar VNA will provide engineers, researchers and other industry professionals an opportunity to expand their measurement capabilities."
