3.2 E and W Band Operation Using the 3743A, 3744A-EE, or 3744A-EW mm-Wave Module
The 3743A Broadband mm-Wave module can be adapted to a waveguide band output by adding an available waveguide band adapter and
mounting flange. VectorStar menus automatically configure the system frequencies incorporating the 3743A module for banded operation. Using
the 3743A modules provides the opportunity to sweep frequencies for broadband applications and quickly convert to waveguide configurations for
banded measurements. The advantages of small compact modules with excellent RF performance and power range control can therefore be
realized in both broadband and waveguide configurations when using the 3743A mm-Wave module. For systems where only waveguide band
operation is required, the 3744A-EE or 3744A-EW mm-Wave module can be used.
The 3744A-EE or 3744A-EW mm-Wave module operates from 54 GHz to 110 GHz. The band supported is determined by the waveguide adapter
connected to the 1 mm test port output of the 3744A-EE/EW module:
• 3744A-EE configures the module for Extended E Band
• 3744A-EW configures for Extended W Band
The RF input port of the 3744A-EE or 3744A-EW module is restricted below 54 GHz, however, the RF input port retains a DC connection to the
1 mm test port. Thus, the waveguide adapter can be removed for on-wafer applications from 54 GHz to 110 GHz operation and the on-wafer DUT
can be biased through the RF input port.
