STO-20355315-C-E1 Frequency Extension Module, 20 to 55 GHz
STO-20355315-C-E1 is a coaxial vector network analyzer (VNA) frequency extender Tx/Rx from Eravant designed to achieve full 2-port, S-parameter testing at 20 to 55 GHz. It is compatible with Fx compatible Advanced Series VNAs. The frequency extender can achieve a dynamic range up to 120 dB for certain passive products that require high rejection, isolation, and return loss testing such as directional couplers and filters. VNA extender is packaged individually in a rugged equipment box with additional hardware and tools.
Recommended VNAs:
Total cost of the system depends on selected VNA. The extenders are packaged in small and versatile enclosures that allow for flexible port arrangements. Waveguide ports are manufactured in accordance to the new IEEE 1785-2a standard and ensure industry best alignment and repeatability of connection, allowing for long interval times between calibration.
