The MS46524B Series expands Anritsu’s ShockLine performance line into the 4-port domain, enabling multiport testing from RF to 43.5 GHz. Built on the same trusted platform as the 2-port MS46522B, this VNA brings powerful test capabilities to high-frequency design and validation teams working with 5G mmWave, differential cables, and high-speed interconnects.

This series supports real-time time-domain analysis (Option 2) for TDR-style reflection analysis and mixed-mode S-parameters, while Option 22 enables signal integrity debugging with file-based circuit models—ideal for complex SI validation.

A bias tee option (61) allows DC biasing during measurements on the 8.5 GHz model, and the integrated 3U chassis includes the power supply and control PC, simplifying setup.

With high dynamic range, fast sweep speeds, and full SCPI programmability, the MS46524B is a top-tier multiport solution for engineers needing high accuracy, repeatability, and test speed at a competitive cost.

  1. 4-Port Multiport Testing – Supports complex S-parameter measurements for differential and mixed-mode analysis.

  2. Broad Frequency Options – Available in 8.5 GHz, 20 GHz, and 43.5 GHz models.

  3. Time-Domain Options –

    • Option 2: Real-time bandpass/lowpass time domain with TDR-like display.

    • Option 22: File-based signal integrity tools for multiport SI validation.

  4. DC Biasing (Option 61) – Available on 8.5 GHz model to power active DUTs during tests.

  5. 3U Chassis with Built-in PC – Compact, integrated system ready for benchtop or rack use.

  6. Shared GUI and Command Syntax – Seamless software experience across the ShockLine family.

  7. Cost-Efficient for mmWave 5G – Ideal for 28 GHz, 39 GHz device testing and high-speed interconnects.

  8. Secure Operation – No onboard memory simplifies deployment in secure or export-controlled labs.
