VectorStar ME7838x Series Broadband Vector Network Analyzers
Candidate for:EE Awards - Test & Measurement
The Anritsu VectorStar ME7838x series is a next-generation broadband Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) system designed for AI server interconnects, high-speed semiconductor testing, silicon photonics (SiPh), and future 6G applications. The ME7838D4 supports up to 4-port S-parameter measurements up to 145 GHz in a single sweep, with optional optical interfaces for differential O/E and E/O measurements.

Key Technical Innovations:
- World's first single-sweep spectrum analyzer covering 70 kHz to 220 GHz, integrating VNA and spectrum analysis capabilities.
- Utilizes Anritsu's NLTL-based mmWave modules to achieve positive raw directivity for superior calibration and measurement stability.
- Offers full-frequency coverage from 70 kHz to 145 GHz via a single coaxial test port without module switching.
- Provides a smooth upgrade path to 220 GHz and up to 1.1 THz to address future testing needs.
- 4-port broadband VNA solution supporting up to 150 GHz in single-sweep.
