New VNA Technologies Enable Millimeter-wave Broadband Testing to 220 GHz
by from IEEE Spectrum on (#50BNC)
Application development in the mmWave frequencies for terrestrial communication, high-frequency device characterization, automotive radar and other technologies is increasing. As these applications climb from tens of GHz to over 100 GHz, the challenge of testing and characterizing the devices that enable new solutions is becoming increasingly complex. As broadband testing over hundreds of GHz of bandwidth is subject to repeatability and accuracy deficits, researchers and engineers are demanding better broadband solutions that help to overcome these challenges and simplify mmWave testing.
