Ascentest Releases VMNA (Virtual Multi-port Network Analyzer) Test System on Sep. 19th, 2014.
VMNA system is built upon Ascentest high-speed solid-state RF Switch Matrix (100MHz ~ 8GHz), which expands a 2-port Vector Network Analyzer to 8-port or 16-port Vector Network Analysis System.
Due to the system’s ultra high-speed switching and sweeping measurement, all the operators at the 16 ports virtually feel like they are using that single 2-port Vector Network Analyzer exclusively!
This is why this system is named as “Virtual Multi-port Network Analyzer”, or VMNA as abbreviation.
VMNA system is capable of measuring 16 single-port reflection coefficients, or 8 two-port reflection & transfer coefficients, virtually at the same time, which greatly increases test efficiency and reduces test cost for RF components production.
As can be seen, VMNA is the ideal test tool for the mass production of mobile phone antennas, filters, and other multi-port RF components.
