RF Modulation Requires a SM6628, SM6629, SM6630, or SM6631 Pulse Modulator Test Set (see next section)
RF Modulation (Pulse Modulator Test Sets for use with Option 042 PulseView™)
Description Pulse Modulator Test Sets are available to pulse the RF stimulus and/or provide receiver gating (modulation).
Receiver gating generally required only for higher power antenna and related applications where undesired
pulses could saturate the VNA receiver. The Test Set frequency range is limited to that of the VNA with which it is
used. Test Sets include necessary cabling and installation documentation.
Required Options Option 035 IF Digitizer
Option 042 PulseView™
Option 051 Direct Access Loops or Options 061/062 Active Measurements Suite
Requires one of the following
compatible Pulse Modulator Test Sets SM6628, 70 kHz to 40 GHz. Provides the MS4642B and MS4644B VNA with source modulation.
SM6629, 70 kHz to 40 GHz. Provides the MS4642B and MS4644B VNA with source and receiver modulation.
SM6630, 70 kHz to 70 GHz. Provides the MS4645B and MS4647B VNA with source modulation.
SM6631, 70 kHz to 70 GHz. Provides the MS4645B and MS4647B VNA with source and receiver modulation.
