The Pulse Modulator Test Sets are available in four different models of two basic configurations, each with two different frequency ranges of operation. The test set frequency ranges are 70 kHz to 40 GHz and 70 kHz to 70 GHz, but the frequency measurement range is limited to that of the VNA model with which the test set is used. The two basic configurations include one configuration with source modulators and one configuration with source and receiver modulators.
SM6628 Pulse Modulator Test Set, 40 GHz, Source Modulation
SM6629 Pulse Modulator Test Set, 40 GHz, Source and Receiver Modulation
SM6630 Pulse Modulator Test Set, 70 GHz, Source Modulation
SM6631 Pulse Modulator Test Set, 70 GHz, Source and Receiver Modulation
The SM66xx Pulse Modulator Test Set is not a stand alone instrument and must be installed with an MS4640B Series VNA with Option 035, IF Digitizer, Option 042, PulseView™, and Option 051, 061, or 062, Direct Access Loops.
The Anritsu VectorStar MS4640B Series Vector Network Analyzer is capable of measuring and generating pulsed signals when equipped with Option 035, IF Digitizer and Option 042, PulseView™. Pulse measurements include pulse profile, point-in-pulse, and pulse-to-pulse capability. Four internal signal generators are included to enable multiple ways to stimulate the device under test. For example, the pulse generators can be used in conjunction with a Pulse Modulator Test Set to pulse the RF to a DUT. The pulse generators may be used directly to pulse a DUT's power supply, or the two can be used together.
For cases when RF modulation is needed, Pulse Modulator Test Set configurations are available. Pulse Modulator Test Sets also include reference coupling, which can be useful in many applications.
