Key Features
Simplify Mixer Characterization
Complex measurement setups and unwanted errors make characterizing nonlinear devices like mixers difficult. Simplify your mixer characterization to increase your throughput with scalar mixer calibration (SMC) and vector-mixer calibration (VMC) on your ENA RF network analyzer. These calibration techniques allow you to easily evaluate mixer parameters such as conversion loss, group delay, intermodulation distortion, and more.

The ENA series vector network analyzers are widely used across multiple fields, from basic passive RF component testing to complex system verification. With features such as high accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and multifunctional integration, the ENA analyzers are applied in the following test scenarios:
1. Basic Passive RF Component Testing
• Antenna and Filter Performance Verification:
-- Antennas: Measures VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), return loss (S11), and radiation pattern optimization, suitable for impedance matching debugging of 5G/WLAN/cellular base station antennas.
-- Filters: Verifies bandwidth, insertion loss, and out-of-band rejection characteristics, supporting fast screening of base station filters and automotive radar filters.
• Cable and Connector Characterization: Evaluates transmission loss (S21) and phase stability of coaxial cables to ensure signal integrity in high-speed communication links.
2. PCB and Material Electromagnetic Analysis
• Printed Circuit Board Impedance Testing:
-- Uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to analyze impedance continuity of PCB traces and locate impedance discontinuities caused by process errors.
-- Supports Time Domain Gating technology to eliminate measurement interference from test fixtures, improving repeatability.
• Dielectric Material Parameter Measurement: Measures dielectric constant (ε_r) and loss tangent (tanδ) of high-frequency substrates, guiding material selection for millimeter-wave radar radomes or high-speed PCBs.
3. Wireless Power Transfer and Special Applications
• Wireless Power Transfer Efficiency Optimization: Measures coupling efficiency (S21) of resonant coils and analyzes energy transfer characteristics under different load impedances, supporting R&D of wireless charging modules for electric vehicles.
• CATV Component Testing: Supports impedance matching tests on 75Ω systems to verify performance of coaxial splitters, attenuators, and other广电 (broadcasting and television) equipment.
4. Multi-Band Testing from Low to High Frequencies
• Power Integrity Analysis: Combines with built-in DC bias sources (±40 V) to test impedance characteristics of power distribution networks, optimizing stability of CPU/GPU power supply circuits.
• Low-Frequency Circuit and Sensor Calibration: Covers an ultra-wide frequency range from 5 Hz to GHz, supporting impedance analysis of industrial ultrasonic sensors or medical device circuits.
5. Industry-Wide Application Scenarios
• Communication Equipment Manufacturing: Used for batch S-parameter testing of mobile phone RF front-end modules (FEMs) and base station power amplifiers (PAs), improving production line efficiency.
• Automotive Electronics Validation: Tests phase consistency of automotive mmWave radar antenna arrays to ensure detection accuracy of ADAS systems.
• Aerospace and Defense: Verifies performance of satellite communication payloads' transmission links and supports high-frequency signal analysis in the Ka-band.
