The MS4640B Series represents the core of Anritsu’s VectorStar family, delivering high-fidelity S-parameter measurements for RF to mmWave devices across R&D, validation, and production environments. Covering 70 kHz to 70 GHz in a single instrument, it stands out with its low-frequency performance—adding two extra decades of range often unavailable in traditional VNA platforms.

This series features intelligent analysis tools like IMDView™ for live intermodulation testing, PulseView™ for ultra-fast pulse measurement (2.5 ns resolution), and DifferentialView™ for real-time evaluation of differential components using internal dual signal sources. These features reduce time-to-validation and simplify complex test setups.

Optional capabilities such as the Spectrum Analyzer (Option 49) extend performance up to 220 GHz, while the Cold Source Noise Figure and Differential NF options support complete signal integrity testing for both single-ended and differential systems.

From high-precision component design to production line efficiency, the MS4640B VNA provides reliable, stable, and highly accurate measurements trusted by engineers worldwide.

  1. 70 kHz to 70 GHz Coverage – Wide frequency range in a single instrument, including 2 decades of low-end performance.

  2. IMDView™ – Real-time IMD measurements with single DUT connection switching between S-parameters and intermodulation testing.

  3. PulseView™ – Industry-leading 2.5 ns pulse resolution and 100 dB dynamic range without compromise.

  4. DifferentialView™ – Real-time differential device analysis with dynamic dual-source phase/magnitude control.

  5. Spectrum Analyzer Option (49) – First-of-its-kind VNA-integrated spectrum analysis from 70 kHz to 220 GHz.

  6. Cold Source Noise Figure Option – Supports noise figure measurement from 70 kHz to 125 GHz.

  7. Differential Noise Figure Measurement – Unique capability to characterize NF in differential-mode devices.

  8. EduPack Bundle Available – Ideal for training institutions and universities with guided usage modules.

  9. 3-Year Warranty – Reliability backed by strong service and support commitment.
