ME7838A Series Vector Network Analyzers
Broadband VNA System
70 kHz to 110 (125) GHz
Millimeter Waveguide VNA System
50 GHz to 750 GHz (1.1 THz)
The ME7838A broadband VNA system provides single sweep
coverage from 70 kHz to 110 GHz and is operational from 40 kHz to
125 GHz. It consists of the following items:
• MS4647A VectorStar VNA, 70 kHz to 70 GHz with Option 007,
Option 070, and Option 080/081
