The sub-millimeter wave signal feeding the transmitting antenna is generated by a Tx/Rx
Frequency Extender Head while the signal received by the Frequency Scanning Antenna Array is detected with a Rx
Frequency Extender Head (Fig.
We at CMT provide '
frequency Extenders', which operate up to 110 GHz while the interconnection RF signals to our vector network analyzer is less than 9 GHz."
The measurement is carried out in free space using a Rohde and Schwarz ZVA 24 VNA associated with
frequency extenders. The transmitting and receiving ports are connected to rectangular waveguides which act as antennas.
Copper Mountain Technologies, in addition to highlighting its FET1854
frequency extenders and RVNAX16 software, with applicability to 5G, will also exhibit its new 18-GHz Compact S5180, integrated into a system for tabletop materials measurements, according to CEO Irena Goloschokin.
The C4209 works seamlessly and exclusively with Farran Technology's mmWave FEV
frequency extenders. Tom Scanlon, director of marketing and sales at Farran Technology, said the Cobalt Series' high performance made possible the use of a 9-GHz VNA as opposed to the usual 20GHz VNA.
