MMVNA-200 is optimized for large scale testing. One more more MMVNA-200 units can be controlled using either USB or Ethernet connection. Running on linux, MMVNA-200 acts like a networked device enabling easy and flexible control and data exchange over network. Running on single 5V power supply, MMVNA-200 consumes less than 10W of power.

VNA Manager software runs on a PC connected to the MMVNA-200 and provides all configuration, control, data collection, data presentation and storage functions. This user-friendly software is quite versatile in enabling effective use of vast amount of S-parameter measurement data generated by the MMVNA.

– One Click Autotest makes it convenient for production environment.
– Configurable IP Address for MMVNA allows connecting of multiple MMVNA’s to PC for integrated control.
– Command Line Interface support for integrating with Automated Test environment.
– Supports Single Ended & Dual Ended Test Configuration.
– Supports CSV and Touchstone export of Test Results.

MMVNA performs DC measurements that are useful in troubleshooting and verification of Device Under Test (DUT).

• DC measurements are performed dual-ended by a main and a remote MMVNA unit. Supports Pass/Fail for Cable Mapping & Connectivity
• End-to-end connectivity (wiremap) and resistance of every wire are measured with high accuracy
• Supports Pass/Fail for Cable mapping & connectivity

The MMVNA performs vector S-parameter measurements on as many as 256 parameters at once. With this powerful configuration tool, you can:

– Configuration files supports deployment of Test Setup to MMVNA’s across distributed production sites.
– Refer to measurements by names familiar to you
– Decide which measurements get plotted in which tab
– Apply pass-fail limits according to your requirements
– Choose the domain of plot (time-domain, frequency domain)
– Choose to view either magnitude, real or imaginary part or phase of the measurement

MMVNA has 4 differential/single-ended transmitters and 8 receivers. In every sweep, MMVNA measures all 32 differential-to-single-ended, all 16 differential-to-differential, and all 16 differential-to-common mode parameters in vector form. When dual-ended testing is performed, same number of additional main-to-remote channel parameters are measured by each end. The configuration software provides convenient user interface to pick useful parameters among all measurements available.

Dual-ended measurement enables measurement of far-end parameters. These S-parameters are commonly referred to as insertion loss and FEXT (far-end cross-talk). MMVNA measures all combinations of these parameters from both main and remote units with the far end transmission against IEEE 802.3bw limits. A utility to perform “set reference” provides zero reference for dual-ended measurements.

S11 parameters represent reflection signal. Due to its unique reflectometer design, MMVNA measures mixed mode S11 parameters (return loss, TCL) with high accuracy.

In addition to insertion loss, the MMVNA also provides measurement of mode conversion parameters at far end (typically referred to as TCTL).

Coupling between ports is measured for all combinations at near-end and far-end (NEXT and FEXT). Near-end coupling measurements are vector measurements, allowing time-domain view to troubleshoot. All coupling parameters are measured in mixed mode, giving insight into mode conversion in coupling.

MMVNA allows performing fast sweep for high productivity in manufacturing testing. A decent 80dB measurement floor is sufficient for most manufacturing test application where the intention is to verify that the product is within the expected performance. For more accurate testing with up to 110dB measurement floor, the user can configure high depth measurement.

MMVNA allows user-defined calibration. A variety of calibration kits suitable for specific DUTs are available as option. User can develop their own calibration kit as well. OPEN, LOAD, SHORT and THRU multi-port calibration can be performed by the user.
