Overcoming Cable Loss and Range Limitations in Antenna Testing: a new VNA technology for Remote & High-Fidelity Testing at Lower Cost
17/10/2025 ,
As A&D RF systems grow more complex, precise antenna and OTA testing is vital. Traditional VNA setups face challenges like long cable runs, phase drift, and setup complexity especially in CATR, anechoic chambers, and satellite test environments.
This webinar introduces a modern approach using Anritsu’s PhaseLync™ technology, which enables synchronized, phase-coherent VNA measurements over long distances. With distributed VNA modules and flexible system architecture, engineers can perform high-accuracy measurements with lower loss and reduced complexity.
Watch the webinar and learn about:
- Performing long-distance, phase-aligned measurements with high dynamic range
- Simplifying test setups using remote, synchronized VNA ports
- Addressing common challenges in antenna, radar, and SatCom testing
- Real-world A&D use cases showcasing the benefits of PhaseLync-enabled systems
