MS46122A Vector Network Analyzer

The MS46122A is part of the ShockLine™ family of Vector Network Analyzers from Anritsu. It is a very low-cost series of 1U high, 2-port Compact Vector Network Analyzers. It is available in three frequency ranges: 1 MHz to 8/20/40 GHz, and is capable of s-parameter and time domain measurements.

The MS46122A is based on patented ShockLine™ VNA-on-chip technology, which simplifies the internal VNA architecture at high frequencies, reduces instrument cost, and enhances accuracy and measurement repeatability. The combination of low cost and good performance make ShockLine™ VNAs ideal candidates for testing RF and Microwave passive devices to 40 GHz.

The MS46122A series is controlled through USB from an external PC. The MS46122A runs the same software as the rest of the ShockLine

family, providing a powerful graphical user interface for debugging and manual testing of devices.

This document provides detailed specifications for the MS46122A series Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and related options.
