Flexible and optional calibration types, compatible with multiple calibration kits

AV3672 Series Network Vector Analyzer provide multiple calibration types, including guided calibration (automatic calibration), unguided calibration (using mechanical calibration kits to conduct through response calibration, through response and isolation calibration, single port calibration, enhanced response calibration, full two-port SOLT calibration, TRL calibration) and electronic calibration (ECal) etc. Users can select calibration kits, such as coaxial 3.5mm calibration kit and electronic calibration kit based on test requirements, which greatly facilitates testing on devices with different interfaces.

Multiple windows to display all measuring channel

The analyzers have the function of multi-channel and multi-window display. They support up to 64 channels. Maximum 16 measuring windows can be simultaneously displayed, and each window can simultaneously display up to 8 testing traces, which makes the observation results more visible and the operation more convenient.

12.1-inch high resolution touch screen

The 12.1-inch touch screen with 1280*800 resolution has bright and comfortable color, which can make your operation very convenient.

Large Dynamic Range

AV3672 series vector network analyzers are designed with the concept of mixer receiving, which effectively extends the dynamic range of the complete machine and meets the test demand for large dynamic ranges.

Rich Peripheral interfaces, flexible and pratical

Adopting the software & hardware platform consisting of embedded computer module compatible with PC and Windows operating system, AV3672 series vector network analyzers realize the perfect combination of instrument and PC. Users can use the rich I/O interfaces (including GPIB, LAN and USB) to complete the optimum selection of data communication.

Low trace noise, high test accuracy

The excellent performance of AV3672 series vector network analyzers in trace noise highly improve the test accuracy so as to meet user’s demand for accurate measurement, and they are especially helpful for the accurate measurement of devices with low insertion loss.

Time domain analysis can comprehensively characterize the design

With time domain options, AV3672 series vector network analyzers can realize the switching of measuring results between frequency domain and time domain, which can be used to identify the discontinuous points of device, fixture or cable to identify the accurate fault location.

Automatic Test

Calibration is complicated: short-circuiter, open-circuiter, load, through – SO PROFESSIONAL!

Set up the same parameters over and over again – VERY BORING!

Products need to be tested under harsh conditions BUT PEOPLE NEEDN’T!

Setting changing and data recording need to be done at set intervals – UNFORTUNATELY, I’M NOT A TIMER!

What to do? We will help you!

AV3672 series vector network analyzers can provide you integrated automatic test solutions including automatic calibration, automatic measurement, automatic reading and automatic printing.

Flexible and multiple control modes are provided through GPIB, LAN and USB interfaces. All you need to do is to finish the interconnection of equipment and send the command.
