Millimeter-Wave Module Options
The following millimeter-wave modules are available for the ME7828A Millimeter-Wave VNA Measurement System. If a millimeter-wave system is required, at least one pair of modules, matched for a band, are required. Multiple module pairs can be equipped with any VNA system. The general installation and connection requirements for each module pair are identical.
