The Anritsu 37397D is a high-performance, two-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) from the Lightning Family series. Operating across a wide frequency range of 40 MHz to 65 GHz, this premium instrument is engineered for active and passive microwave component testing. Standard premium features include built-in step attenuators, internal bias tees, extended power range, a gain compression application, and multiple source control. It is also directly upgradeable to the ME7808B Broadband (40 MHz to 110 GHz) VNA system.
