VectorStar MS4640A Series Microwave Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) : Overview : VectorStar MN4690B Series Multiport VNA System
 
VectorStar MN4690B Series Multiport VNA System
In its multiport (or 4-Port) configuration, the VectorStar VNA is available in K connector and V connector configurations that support all VectorStar MS4640A Series VNAs. Additional configurations and options are described in the relevant technical data sheet.
The upper frequency limit depends on the test set and the VNA. The MN4694B Test Set upper limit 40 GHz and the MN4697B upper limit is 70 GHz. The system usable upper frequency limit is determined by the attached VNA.
The lower frequency limit for the MN4690B Test Sets is 10 kHz, but as above, the usable lower frequency limit is determined by the attached VNA and its installed options. For MS4640A Series VNAs equipped with Option 070 – 70 kHz Low End Frequency Extension, the lower frequency limit is specified as 70 kHz but allowed to go to 40 kHz.
For VNAs not equipped with Option 070, the lower limit is 10 MHz.
