4-Port 10MHz - 67GHz Vector Network Analyser (VNA)

Tender description

4-port Vector Network Analyser covering frequencies from 10 MHz to 67 GHz. In addition to S-parameters, this asset should allow for noise figure measurements, up to 50 GHz, of low gain and low noise devices. Lot 1: The unit must have all performance characteristics as detailed below: 4-port Vector Network Analyser with the following specifications: • Lower frequency limit 10 MHz (maximum) • Upper frequency limit 67 GHz (minimum) • 4 ports • 1.85 mm coaxial test port interface • Hardware realised noise measurements up to 50 GHz • GPIB interface • CE or UKCA marked with declaration of conformity • 220 V operating mains voltage Performance specifications Typical corrected system performance at 60 GHz as follows: • Noise floor for 10 Hz IF Bandwidth across frequency range 100MHz to 67GHz: ≤-100 dBm, Direct Rx Access ≤-100 dBm across the whole band. • System dynamic range ≥107 dB from 50MHz to 67GHz. Corrected Numbers, after a calibration. • Directivity at 50-67GHz: ≥ 34 dB • Source match at 50-67GHz: ≥ 40 dB • Load match at 50-67GHz: ≥ 33 dB • Reflection tracking (Mag) at 50-67GHz: ≤ ±0.031 dB • Transmission tracking (Mag) at 60-67GHz: ≤ ±0.15 dB • Three harmonically clean DDS RF sources, with harmonics better than -60dBc • Internal signal combiner, a flexible set of switches and direct generator and receiver access points which can all be reconfigured for non-standard measurement applications without the need for an external test set or switching. • Linearity at test port < 0.05 dB @ -60 dBm across frequency band. • Dual DDS sources providing 94dBc/Hz phase noise performance at 10kHz offset at 10GHz carrier (typical) Additional Features • Noise Figure using built-in low noise receiver and filtering allowing for low gain, low noise measurements of amplifiers and converters • Source corrected Vector noise figure measurements suitable for measuring low gain, low noise devices. Includes Noise Parameters. • Option to add ARB functionality to all VNA sources, up to 6GHz Modulation BW • Integrated touch screen display • ≥2 USB ports & 2 USB-C Ports • Option to add 3rd internal source operating up to 13.5GHz
