Overview
This manual describes basic information necessary to use the R4213/R4226 instruments. It provides
installation instructions, operation procedures for calibration, measurements and analysis of
measurement results.
The new generation of high performance vector network analyzers R4213/4226 is a suitable instrument
for testing of passive and active devices as well as solutions for complex tasks. Up-to-date Micran
patented software and hardware solutions allow you to combine the huge set of the microwave (MW)
measurements in only one device, reduce instrument cost, and enhances accuracy and measurement
repeatability. The major features of the R4213/4226 are described as follows:
-
Vector measurements of transmission and reflection losses, power measurements in
continuous or pulse mode;
-
Optional noise figure, vector and scalar mixer measurements;
-
Various SOLT/TRL calibration types, automatic calibration procedure ability;
-
Post-calibration circuits fixturing, reference plane conversions;
-
Save/load measured data, user settings and calibrations;
-
Data averaging, smoothing, accumulation, limit testing;
-
Display various statistical information;
-
Scalar and vector math operations with traces;
-
Data display flexible settings;
-
Multifunctional marker measurements and analysis;
-
Internal reporting tool.
Micran VNA simplifies measurement cases for development, serial manufacture and verification of RF
and MW products. It is an ideal solution for wireless communications, aerospace and defense,
computer, medical, automotive, etc.
