Communications services such as mobile
phone and wireless
LAN have increased the use of multibands while at the same
time terminals are becoming smaller. These trends have lead
to
the widespread use of RF modules combining multiple func-tions.
Also, for existing high-frequency components in con-junction
with an even greater miniaturization and more wide-spread
use of balanced circuits, the ability to make increasingly
complex measurements more efficiently is a critical goal.
ADVANTEST offers a new generation of analyzers with the
flexibility to handle all tasks requiring extreme accuracy,
high-speed
measurements, and superior analysis functions.
The R3860A RF Component Analyzer is a new generation
analyzer with the flexibility to measure RF modules that com-bine
multiple functions. Its flexibility extends over a wide range
of uses ranging from RF modules that com-bine multiple func-tions
to frequency conversion circuits and other active compo-nents.
The R3768/3770 Network Analyzer is a high-performance multi-port
analyzer designed with a greater emphasis on measuring
passive components.
Higher frequencies are also supported, with the R3768 support-ing
frequencies from 300 kHz to 8 GHz and the R3770 support-ing
frequencies from 300 kHz to 20 GHz.
All models have the software fixture function that perform real-time
simulation of virtual matching circuits and standardized
impedance conversion in addition to S-parameter analysis. At
the world's fastest high-speed sweep of 5 µs/point, simulations
of even complex analysis are accomplished instantly. More-over,
multi-port models can perform software balun simula-tions
and balance parameter analysis. If these models are
combined and used with the flexible multi-window and multi-trace
functions, they can also measure complex analysis items
instantly. The large, high-visibility display is a key factor in
improving the analysis efficiency because it enables the simul-taneous
display of multi-port paths in addition to the simulta-neous
display of fixture simulation traces.
