The ME786xA series redefines how engineers and manufacturers perform vector transmission measurements by offering a compact and flexible alternative to traditional benchtop VNAs. Built on Anritsu’s ShockLine MS46131A architecture, this system delivers phase-synchronized measurements using two connected VNA ports controlled from a single PC.
By removing the need for long RF cables between DUTs and VNA test ports, ME786xA minimizes signal degradation and simplifies the test setup, reducing costs and improving measurement confidence. The PhaseLync™ architecture ensures tight phase coherence between VNA heads even when separated by distances up to 100 meters, making this system especially useful for applications like satellite antenna testing, radar module evaluation, long cable assemblies, and EMI-sensitive environments.
The Extended-K™ components ensure the system maintains calibrated performance up to 43.5 GHz. For added flexibility, users can reconfigure the test system in software to switch between dual 1-port or full 2-port measurements, supporting dynamic needs in prototyping, quality control, or education.
Unlike traditional VNAs with built-in storage, the ME786xA avoids data persistence issues, making it suitable for secure or classified test environments.
