Test Port Power Verification

The following test can be used to verify the test port power of each test port of the VectorStar Multiport VNA 
System meets specification.

The Test Port Power verification are automated by using the VectorStar MS4640A/B Instrument Test 
Software, CDROM part number 2300-531-R. The software guides you through the measurement of the Test 
Port Power level. Refer to the 

VectorStar MS4640A/B Series VNA 2300-531-R System Verification 

Software Quick Start Guide - 10410-00291

, for details about running the software.

Equipment Required

•

Power Meter, Anritsu Model ML2437A or ML2438A

•

Power Sensor, Anritsu Model SC7770

•

Adapter, N male to V female, Pasternack Model PE9720

•

Calibration Kit, K Connector, Anritsu Model 3652A

•

Calibration Kit, V Connector, Anritsu Model 3654D

Procedure

1. 

Power on the power meter allow to warm up for at least 15 minutes.

2. 

Connect the N male to V female adapter to the power meter calibrator port.

3. 

Connect the sensor to the power meter calibrator port. Zero and calibrate the power sensor.

4. 

Disconnect the power sensor from the calibrator port and install an adapter (34VFKF50 or 33VFVF50C) 
to convert the power sensor input to a female connector.

5. 

Place the MS464xA/B VNA on top of the MN469xC Test Set and connect the front and rear panel cables 
per the 

VectorStar MN469xC Multiport Test Set Installation Guide – 10410-00288.

6. 

Power on the MN469xC Test Set first.

7. 

Power on the MS464xA/B VNA and allow it to complete self test.

8. 

Allow both VNA and Test Set to warm up for at least one hour.

9. 

Run the VectorStar MS4640A/B Instrument Test Software and follow the instructions to perform the test 

port power level measurements.

10. 

After the automated test is complete, print the test result and attached it the Test Records in 

Appendix A

.

Note

Perform this test only when the 2-Port VectorStar VNA has Option 51 installed.

Note

If the VNA is powered up before the test set, the VNA application will stay in 2-port mode and only 
2-port mode features and functions will be available.
