Farran offers VNA Frequency extension products to help you get the most out of your existing equipment.
Farran Technology Ltd. offers frequency extender modules for customer owned VNA’s to extend their measurement capability to 140 GHz. They are designed to cover 5 waveguide bands, with ongoing development on higher frequency band modules. These are available as a T/R and T modules. The end user’s test system requirement will be a suitably equipped VNA including the mmwave Frequency Extension Controller, which can be supplied by Farran, working with, an input IF signal frequency between 8.33 and 300 MHz, and two synthesized signal generators, covering up to 20 GHz, for the RF and LO signals.
There are two possible configuration of the measurement setup using the Farran mm-wave modules, T/R – T/R and T/R – T. The first configuration provides the capability of a full two-port S-parameter measurement and consists of two identical transmission/reflection modules. The second configuration enables measurement of only transmission (S21), and input reflection coefficient (S11), of the DUT simultaneously.
The products have been developed to be compatible with the latest Agilent PNA systems E836xx, Anritsu 371xxC, 372XXC/D and 373XXC/D and any R&S systems ZVA-24, ZVA-40, ZVA-50.
