Overview

The VectorStar Broadband ME7828A system begins a new era in broadband characterization offering many advances in broadband performance including:

Industry-best broadband frequency coverage - starts at 70 kHz instead of 10 MHz.
Industry-best dynamic range: typical 90 dB vs 75 dB at 65 GHz
Industry-best measurement speed: 120 ms vs 500 ms for 201 pts.
Industry-best calibration and measurement stability: 0.1 dB vs 0.6 dB over 24 hrs.
Millimeter-wave waveguide coverage to 0.5 THz

The ME7828A takes full advantage of the VectorStar's superior performance:

The best available time domain analysis utilizing the most points available in a single channel and the widest broadband frequency.
Utilizes the fast switching speed of the MG37022A Wildfire sources for sweep speeds four to ten times faster than other systems when sweeping in the millimeter wave range.
Easily upgrade current 0.04-110 GHz ME7808C Lightning-based systems to the frequency and dynamic range performance of the ME7828A by simply upgrading the VNA.
The broadband system may be configured to include a full range of banded millimeter-wave modules extending the frequency range up to 500 GHz.
