Microwave and mm-wave instrumentation
Currently, the Antenna Measurement Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art Vector Network Analysers from Agilent Technologies, showing unprecedented low levels of background noise. Specifically, there are two Precision Network Analyser models:
- Agilent PNA-X - N5244A (0.01 - 43.5 GHz) with:
- Full four-port S-parameter measurements
- Extendable to two-port mm-Wave S-parameter measurements with mm-Wave source modules and related waveguide calibration kits, covering the following bands:
- WR-15 (50-75 GHz) OMLheads
- WR-10 (75-110 GHz) OMLheads
- WR-06 (110-170 GHz) OMLheads
- WR-5.1 (140-220 GHz) VDI heads
- WR-03 (220-325 GHz) OMLheads
- WR-2.2 (330-500 GHz) R&S heads
- Mechanical Calibration Kit, 26.5 to 40 GHz, Waveguide, WR-28.
