The required input power is +3 dBm. Output signals are provided through a WR-03 anti-cocking waveguide flange. Harmonic and spurious outputs are -15 dBc and -60 dBc respectively.
VNA Test System
Designed to bring transformative changes to how mmWave components are measured, Eravant’s tools for extending VNA test capabilities provide full-band frequency coverage from 50 to 220 GHz. VNA upgrades are realized using the STO series of VNA frequency extenders, the STQ-WG series of Proxi-Flange™ contactless waveguide flanges and the STQ-TL series of Wave-Glide™ alignment fixtures. Test system productivity and durability are greatly enhanced by streamlining calibration and measurement operations while preventing physical damage to waveguide components.
