. ME7A4 Main Components High Performance Modular Broadband/Banded Millimeter-Wave Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) Measurement System, 70 khz to GHz This guide provides quick setup instructions for the ME7A4 Multiport Broadband/Banded mm-wave VNA System assembly. For additional safety and compliance information, and for more details about the assembly, configuration, setup, and initial testing of the equipment, refer to the VectorStar ME7A4 Series Multiport Broadband Vector Network Analyzers Installation Guide 040-0074. This and all other documentation that supports the ME7A4 is available on the VectorStar User Documentation Disc 090-0007. Calibration, Verification, and System Performance Verification documents are included on a separate disc included with each calibration/verification kit.. ME7A4 Main Components ME7A4 Broadband Systems The ME7A4 Multiport Broadband system consists of the following components: MS447A or MS447B VNA with Option 007 (Receiver Offset) and Option 0x (Modular Broadband Connection Capability) MN497C Multiport Test Set 7B Broadband Test Set 79C Broadband Test Set Four 74A Millimeter-Wave Modules Front and rear panel cables ME7A4 Banded Systems The ME7A4 Multiport Banded system consists of the following components: MS44xA/B VNA with Option 0x MN494C Multiport Test Set 7B Broadband Test Set 79C Broadband Test Set Four 744A-EE, 744A-EW, or four OML/VDI Millimeter-Wave Modules Front and rear panel cables Caution A MS44xA/B VNA unit is heavy. To avoid personal injury, it must be lifted and maneuvered by at least two people during installation. If mounting on a workbench surface, first position the 79C Broadband Test Set with access to its front and rear panels. Stack the remaining test sets on top of one another, then finally the VNA. If mounting into rack or console, make sure the Test Sets have been installed, and that the rack/console is carefully positioned on a flat and level surface. If equipped, make sure any casters are locked. Use two people to lift the VNA unit and two to guide it into its shelf rails. The test loops on the front and rear panels of the VNA are delicate. Be careful not to bump or bend the test loops. QSG- PN: 040-007 Rev. A VectorStar ME7A4 QSG

See Figure 7 and Table. Route the cable assemblies through the module cable restraint. Note It is easier to first connect the cables to the module and then mount the module in its bracket. Observe torque instructions where indicated. Each module (except the 744A-Rx) is characterized for a specific VNA Serial Number and VNA Test Port as designated on the module port assignment label. Ensure the module matches the correct VNA and Test Set port. For more detailed information on the modules including DUT Waveguide (WG) connection alignment and custom bracket mounting, refer to 040-00-VectorStar Broadband/Banded Millimeter-Wave Modules Reference Manual. Inverting a Module If necessary, a module can be turned over in the bracket to change the elevation of the W connector. To turn the module over:. Remove the six knurled head thumbscrews from the module.. Turn the module over.. Install the six thumbscrews.

Millimeter-Wave Module Operating Environment The following notes should be observed when operating the 74A and 744A-xx mm-wave Modules: Thermal heat sinking similar to the supplied mounting brackets of the Millimeter-Wave Module should be considered in custom mounting applications. Each 74A Module consumes a maximum of watts. Each 744A-EE and 744A-EW Module consumes a maximum of watts. Each 744A-Rx Module consumes a maximum of 7 watts. The primary heat sink paths for the module is the two side mounting surfaces of the mounting bracket. With the attached cable mounting brackets, the case temperature rise is approximately C to 0 C above ambient. A three () Year warranty is valid for all versions of 744A and 74A modules, with or without mounting brackets attached. QSG- PN: 040-007 Rev. A VectorStar ME7A4 QSG
