This model serves as a direct replacement for the discontinued C1220 VNA with an increase in frequency to 22 GHz and higher output power to +15 dBm.
Whether you’re characterizing filters, amplifiers, antennas, or high-speed interconnects, the A2202 provides an unmatched combination of price and performance for S-parameter measurements from 100 kHz to 22 GHz. This 2-port 22 GHz vector network analyzer delivers an impressive dynamic range of 130 dB and ultra-fast sweep speed as low as 12 µs/point with all the advanced software features engineers have come to expect included standard in our software.
The A2202 VNA includes an RF measurement module and S2VNA software application, which runs on Windows operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 board single-board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. S2VNA software can be installed on multiple computers, making it easy to share the use of the analyzer measurement module.
VNAs and ACMs are delivered with factory calibration certificates containing no uncertainty data. The add-on option for ISO17025/Z540-1 Accredited, Traceable Calibration Certificate and Uncertainties is available and needs to be specified at time of order.
This VNA can be integrated into a production test system via the Manufacturing Test Plug-in.
The A2202 VNA is designed for high-performance applications like radar, satellite communications, and high-speed digital systems, providing precise 2-port S-parameter measurements from 100 kHz to 22 GHz.
The metrology-grade accuracy of the A2202 is ideal for demanding test environments like 5G production, Ku and K band RF component testing, and automotive or defense radar development. It’s also well-suited for signal integrity work on PCIe Gen4/5 and 100G Ethernet systems, where harmonics extend beyond 16 GHz.
Other common applications of the A2202 include AW and BTS filter tuning, RF component design and testing, on-wafer probing, field testing, insertion loss measurement, distance to fault measurements, antenna matching, quality control, material measurements, and many others.
The A2202 VNA comes with all the software features engineers have come to expect, at no additional cost. Standard software features include:
