The Anritsu 37369E is a vector network analyzer operating from 40 MHz to 40 GHz, engineered for S-parameter characterization, gain compression measurements, mixer analysis, and optoelectronic device testing. It delivers receiver dynamic range up to 123 dB and supports multiport configurations with optional test sets. The instrument combines dual independent sources for frequency-translated device measurement, metrology-grade calibration standards including SOLT, LRL/LRM, and adapter removal techniques, and multiple data transfer formats via GPIB at 240 kB/sec or USB storage ports.
