A2202-Fx 2-Port 22 GHz Frequency Extension Compatible Vector Network Analyzer
*This product is expected to be available for shipment in Q4 2025. Please reach out to your local sales representative for more details. This model will serve as a direct replacement for the discontinued C4220 VNA with an increase in frequency to 22 GHz and higher output power to +15 dBm.
The A2202-Fx 2-port 22 GHz VNA is frequency extender compatible and is an anchor network analyzer for CMT’s frequency extension modules. For users requiring precision millimeter-wave measurements, this VNA enables seamless integration with our frequency extender modules at an exceptional value.
This vector network analyzer delivers an impressive dynamic range of 130 dB and ultra-fast sweep speed as low as 12 µs/point with all the advanced software features engineers have come to expect included standard in our software. Whether you’re characterizing filters, amplifiers, antennas, or high-speed interconnects, the A2202-Fx provides an unmatched combination of price and performance for S-parameter measurements from 100 kHz to 22 GHz.
The A2202-Fx VNA includes an RF measurement module and the S2VNA software application which runs on Windows operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 single-board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. S2 software can be installed on multiple computers that share the use of the analyzer measurement module.
VNAs and ACMs are delivered with factory calibration certificates containing no uncertainty data. The add-on option for ISO17025/Z540-1 Accredited, Traceable Calibration Certificate and Uncertainties is available and needs to be specified at time of order.
This VNA can be integrated into a production test system via the Manufacturing Test Plug-in.
The A2202-Fx VNA is designed for high-performance applications like radar, satellite communications, and high-speed digital systems, providing precise 2-port S-parameter measurements from 100 kHz to 22 GHz.
The metrology-grade accuracy of the A2202-Fx is ideal for demanding test environments like 5G production, Ku and K band RF component testing, and automotive or defense radar development. It’s also well-suited for signal integrity work on PCIe Gen4/5 and 100G Ethernet systems, where harmonics extend beyond 16 GHz.
This model is frequency extender module compatible, which allows the VNA to interface with a large range of millimeter-wave frequency extenders. Measurements up to 330 GHz can be supported in this way. For instance, an FET-WR12 extender supports frequencies from 60 to 90 GHz, allowing for the measurement of automotive radar systems.
Extenders from CMT are available for 20-55 GHz, 50-75 GHz (WR15), 60-90 GHz (WR12), 75-110 GHz (WR10), 90-140 GHz (WR8) and 110-170 GHz (WR06). Extenders from third parties are also compatible.
Other common applications of the A2202-Fx include AW and BTS filter tuning, RF component design and testing, on-wafer probing, field testing, insertion loss measurement, distance to fault measurements, antenna matching, quality control, material measurements, and many others.
