Specifications Subject to Change

All specifications and characteristics apply under the following conditions, unless otherwise stated: After 90 minutes of warm-up time, where the instrument is left in the ON state. Over the 25 °C ± 5 °C temperature range. For error-corrected specifications, over 23 °C ± 3 °C, with < 1 °C variation from calibration temperature.

For error-corrected specifications are warranted and include guard-bands, unless otherwise stated. When a frequency is listed in two rows of the same table, the specification for the common frequency is

taken from the lower frequency band, except when the band edge is less than 5 GHz. Specifications do not include effects of any user cables attached to the instrument. Specifications may exclude discrete spurious responses. All specifications apply with internal 10 MHz Crystal Oscillator Reference Signal. All specifications are with Interpolation Mode Off. Refers to instruments without Options 051, 061, or 062. Typical performance indicates the measured performance of an average unit.

It does not include guard-bands and is not covered by the product warranty. Typical specifications are shown in parenthesis, such as (-102 dB), or noted as Typical.

Characteristic performance indicates a performance designed-in and verified during the design phase. It does include guard-bands and is not covered by the product warranty.

All uncertainties below 300 kHz are typical. 12 months (Residual specifications also require calibration kit calibration cycle adherence.) All specifications subject to change without notice. For the most current data sheet, please visit the Anritsu

a. Since Residual Load Match is limited by Residual Directivity and the user test port cable, it can only be specified as Residual Directivity. For practical considerations, derate it by approximately 8 dB for a 3670 Series test port cable, to compensate for effects such as match, repeatability, bend radius, and similar parameters.

MS4642B Measurement Uncertainties

The graphs give measurement uncertainties after the above calibration. The errors are a worst-case contribution of residual directivity, load and source match, frequency response and isolation, network analyzer dynamic accuracy, and connector repeatability. 10 Hz IF Bandwidth is used. For transmission uncertainties, it is assumed that S measurements were performed at 0 dBm or default port power, whichever is less. For other conditions, please use our free Exact Uncertainty Calculator software, available for download from the Anritsu web site at www.anritsu.com.

a. Since Residual Load Match is limited by Residual Directivity and the user test port cable, it can only be specified at Residual Directivity. For practical considerations, derate it by approximately 8 dB for a 3670 series test port cable, to compensate for effects such as match, repeatability, bend radius, and similar parameters.

MS4644B Measurement Uncertainties

The graphs give measurement uncertainties after the above calibration. The errors are a worst-case contribution of residual directivity, load and source match, frequency response and isolation, network analyzer dynamic accuracy, and connector repeatability. 10 Hz IF Bandwidth is used. For transmission uncertainties, it is assumed that S measurements were performed at 0 dBm or default port power, whichever is less. For other conditions, please use our free Exact Uncertainty Calculator software, available for download from the Anritsu web site at www.anritsu.com.

Dispersion Modeling

Attenuations

De-embedding

The reference planes of a calibration or other normalization can be changed by entering a line length or time delay.

Dielectric constants may be entered for different media so the length entry can be physically meaningful. Dispersion modeling is used in the cases of microstrip and waveguide to take into account frequency dependent

phase velocities. Attenuations (with frequency slope) and constant phase offsets can be entered to better describe any reference

plane distortions. For more complete reference plane manipulation, the full de-embedding system can also be used.

Measurement Frequency Range

Frequency Range Change

CW Mode

Interpolation Not Activated

Interpolation Activated

Frequency range of the measurement can be narrowed within the calibration range without recalibration. CW mode permits single frequency measurements also without recalibration. If interpolation is not activated, the subset frequency range is forced to use calibration frequency points. If interpolation is activated, any frequency range that is a subset of the calibration frequency range can be used,

but there may be some added interpolation error.

Group Delay

Group Delay Aperture

Aperture

Minimum Aperture

Group Delay Range

Defined as the frequency span over which the phase change is computed at a given frequency point. The aperture can be changed without recalibration. The minimum aperture is the frequency range divided by the number of points in calibration and can be

increased to 20 % of the frequency range. < 180° of phase change within the aperture

Mixer Calibration

The MS4640B is equipped with an Embedding/De-embedding system. De-embedding is generally used for removal of test fixture contributions, modeled networks and other networks

described by S-parameters (s2p files) from measurements. Similarly, the Embedding function can be used to simulate matching circuits for optimizing amplifier designs or

simply adding effects of a known structure to a measurement. Multiple networks can be embedded/de-embedded and changing the port and network orientations is handled

easily. An extraction utility is part of this package that allows the easier computation of de-embedding files based on

some additional calibration steps and measurements.

Allows entry of different reference impedances (complex values) for different ports

Mixer setup provides assistance to configure common mixer measurements including a simple, yet accurate, calibration methodology.

The prime objective of the guided Mixer Setup Single Channel is to help configure the frequency plan of the measurement using easy-to-understand diagrams.

The Mixer Setup Multiple Channels helps configure measurement channels to handle any of a suite of possible mixer measurements and to list the required calibration steps.

Both of these tools are coupled with the mixer calibration menu system that enables both scalar and vector-corrected measurements.

36585-Series Automatic Calibrators (AutoCal)

The 36585-Series Precision Automatic Calibrator (AutoCal) Module provides industry-leading performance in corrected characteristics using over-determined algorithms, and transferring characteristics from a highly accurate LRL type calibration. The resulting accuracies will even out perform a Sliding Load SOLT calibration. In order to remove the effects of matched adapters, the Precision 36585-Series AutoCal comes in a variety of connector gender types (m-m, f-f, and m-f). Adapter Removal Calibration routine is still available in the VectorStar software. With coverage from 70 kHz to 70 GHz, the 36585-series Precision AutoCal offers not only the fastest and most reliable calibration, but also the most accurate broadband coaxial VNA calibration method.

VectorStar™ MS4640B Series Verification Kits

Verification Kits

Verification kits include characterized traceable standards (two attenuators, an airline, and a stepped impedance airline Beatty Standard) that can be used with the provided Performance Verification Software (PVS) and data to verify the calibration and resulting performance of your VNA.

The applicable calibrations are Short-Open-Load-Through (SOLT) with and without Sliding Loads for the 3666-1, 3668-1, and 3669B-1 Verification Kits. The verification kits are used with the 365x and 365x-1 Cal Kits, and 36585x Series AutoCal, male-female version. Cal Kits and AutoCal are purchased separately. These verification kits are dedicated for the MS4640B Series VNAs, and are not for older VNAs.

Verification is also provided as a service, eliminating the investment in kits.

VectorStar™ MS4640B Series Universal Test Fixture (UTF)

Universal Test Fixture (UTF)

The 3680-series UTF provide an accurate, repeatable solution for measuring microstrip and coplanar substrate devices.

• Input and output connections are made to the substrate device by two spring-loaded jaws that include coax-to-microstrip/coplanar launchers.

• One jaw is movable in two dimensions to accommodate substrates of different lengths and offsets.

• Right angle launchers are available for right angle devices.

• Microstrip calibration/verification kits are available for substrate

thicknesses of 10 mil (60 GHz), 15 mil (30 GHz), and 25 mil (20 GHz).

• A coplanar waveguide calibration/verification kit is also available.
