Overview
The Anritsu MS46622A is the 2-port, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz model of the Tensor MS466xxA vector network analyzer (VNA) family. It characterizes passive and active devices as well as frequency-translating devices such as mixers.
The Tensor architecture has a dedicated source for each port, with independent control of multiple sources and receivers. It also supports high-speed data acquisition and transfer.
The instrument can be fitted with hardware options such as direct access loops, receive-side and source-side step attenuators, external ALC, external IF in and out, and banded mmWave support. Software options include time domain processing, gain compression, several mixer measurement options and mmWave support.
Artificial Intelligence
Tensor includes AI-assisted measurement workflows. Users describe a measurement, such as a mixer measurement, in natural language. The system then shows the setup details, including a block diagram and recommended connections and settings. Once it has enough information, it configures the measurement, performs the required calibrations and runs the test. The AI engine runs on the instrument itself and needs no Internet connection.
