ME7838G4 Banded Systems

The ME7838G4 Multiport Banded system consists of the following components:

•MS464xB VNA with Option 08x

•MN4694C Multiport Test Set

•3736B Broadband Test Set

•3739C Broadband Test Set

•Four 3744A-EE, 3744A-EW, or four OML/VDI Millimeter-Wave Modules

Caution

A MS464xA/B VNA unit is heavy. To avoid personal injury, it must be lifted and

maneuvered by at least two people during installation.

If mounting on a workbench surface, first position the 3739C Broadband Test Set

with access to its front and rear panels. Stack the remaining test sets on top of one

another, then finally the VNA.

If mounting into rack or console, make sure the Test Sets have been installed, and

that the rack/console is carefully positioned on a flat and level surface. If equipped,

make sure any casters are locked. Use two people to lift the VNA unit and two to

guide it into its shelf rails.

The test loops on the front and rear panels of the VNA are delicate. Be careful not to

bump or bend the test loops.
