ADVANTEST R3770 Network Analyzer

ADVANTEST R3770 Network Analyzer

New Generation Analyzer Series—World’s Fastest* at 5 µs/Point 

● Measurement frequency range from 300 kHz to 8 & 20 GHz based on model configuration 

● World’s fastest sweep rate of 5 µs/point 

● Model options available for 2 to 4 ports 

● System dynamic range of 125 dB (typical) 

● Balance measurement at 20 GHz

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 functions. Also, for existing high-frequency components in conjunction with an even greater miniaturization and more widespread 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 combine multiple functions. Its flexibility extends over a wide range of uses ranging from RF modules that combine multiple functions to frequency conversion circuits and other active components.

Automated-Operation Support and Interface with External Equipment

The analyzer provides you with several interfaces that allows connection to a variety of external instruments. The analyzer front panel comes standard with mouse and keyboard connectors, and the rear panel has GPIB, LAN, printer port, and VGA monitor output connectors. In addition, the parallel port built into the analyzer, which is capable of controlling automated equipment without an external controller, provides two channels of 8-bit output ports and two channels of 4-bit inputs and outputs.

High-Speed, High-Accuracy High-Frequency Measurements

Incorporating our original analog technology and high-speed operation algorithm, the R3860A RF Component Analyzer and R3768/3770 Network Analyzer provide a system dynamic range of 125 dB (typical). With measurement performance that easily attains the demanding levels of measurements required for filters designed for cell telephone base stations, these analyzers are capable of implementing high dynamic range measurements at high speed. In addition, an improved total throughput precedent is set by the R3860A and R3768/3770 since a wide dynamic range is assured even with the selection of wide-band RBW filters to allow for high measurement speed. Trace noise has also been reduced to half that of the previous ADVANTEST products. Moreover, other features of ADVANTEST analyzers that already perform stable measurements at high speed have been enhanced.

Outstanding measurement performance

Since a system dynamic range of up to 125 dB (typical) is assured, a greater range of RF components and modules can be measured. Featuring the world’s fastest measurement speed of 5 µs/point and 16 measurement channels, the analyzers can be used for a wide variety of applications such as design, evaluation, and front-end inspection of modules that incorporate multiple functions.

20 GHz models operating at upper frequency limits

Despite the higher frequencies being used for wireless LAN communication in the 5 GHz band and standards for measuring higher harmonics for cell telephones, a greater measuring range for wider bands is needed. The R3860A provides an application package whose upper limit frequency has been extended to 20 GHz and is suitable for measuring devices at the demanding standards seen in recent years. (The R3770 also operates at 300 kHz to 20 GHz)
