Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) may be extended seamlessly to millimeter-wave and Terahertz (THz) frequencies. Extender modules increase the frequency coverage of standard VNA instruments such as those provided by R & S, Keysight, Anritsu and others. The extenders measure full S parameters in an automated duplex mode. They are supplied in rugged screened enclosures machined from solid, guaranteeing durability and reliability in challenging environments. The models can be provided with variable attenuators for adjustment of the output power for sensitive components. Calibration kits are provided to ensure optimum performance and accuracy. Meet your high-frequency testing and measurement requirements with precision and versatility.
