ME786xA Distributed Modular 2-port Vector Network Analyzer

The ME786xA Distributed Modular 2-port Vector Network Analyzer introduces a new approach to high-frequency network analysis by combining distributed measurement architecture with synchronized vector performance. Designed for applications where conventional benchtop VNAs become impractical, it enables accurate transmission and reflection measurements over long distances while maintaining exceptional measurement integrity.

Built for advanced RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave testing, the ME786xA simplifies complex measurement environments by placing the measurement ports closer to the device under test, reducing cable losses and improving overall system accuracy.

Distributed Network Analysis for Large-Scale RF Measurements

Traditional vector network analyzers often require long phase-stable microwave cables when measuring large devices or distant test locations, increasing measurement uncertainty and setup complexity.

The ME786xA overcomes these limitations through a distributed modular architecture that allows measurement ports to operate remotely while remaining phase synchronized.

This innovative design enables engineers to perform highly accurate S-parameter measurements across large test environments, making the system particularly well suited for aerospace, defense, antenna ranges, over-the-air (OTA) chambers, and next-generation wireless communication research.

PhaseLync™ Synchronization Technology

At the core of the ME786xA is PhaseLync™ synchronization technology, which enables two distributed measurement modules to operate as a fully synchronized two-port vector network analyzer. This innovative approach maintains precise phase relationships while allowing measurement ports to be separated by significant distances.

The result is highly stable transmission measurements without the performance limitations associated with long RF cable assemblies.

Synchronization Advantages

  • Phase-synchronized distributed measurement architecture
  • Stable vector S-parameter measurements
  • Measurement distances up to 100 meters
  • Improved phase and magnitude accuracy
  • Reduced measurement uncertainty
  • Reliable long-distance RF characterization

Direct Device-Under-Test Connection

The modular architecture allows each measurement module to be positioned close to the device under test (DUT), minimizing insertion loss and reducing errors introduced by long microwave cables. This improves overall measurement quality while simplifying complex test setups.

The flexible system design also reduces installation costs and increases measurement efficiency in large engineering environments.
