The MS4630A is suitable for electronics production lines demanding
fast and accurate device measurements. It is particularly well suited
to accurate high-speed, evaluation of IF filter resonance and group
delay characteristics, as well as evaluating the impedance characteristics
of resonators in AV equipment and personal computers.
A fast sweep speed of 150 s/measurement point is achieved using
a high-speed synthesizer and digital signal processing (DSP) technologies.
The post-processing data analysis functions have been
strengthened with improved data-processing macros that have greatly
increased the total production throughput.
In comparison to the earlier MS3401A/B and MS3606B network analyzers,
the sweep speed is three times faster, and the group delay
measurement accuracy and stability have been improved by more
than 10 times. In addition, the dynamic range has been improved to
120 dB (RBW: 1 kHz) while the weight of the analyzer has been dramatically
reduced. Compatibility has been maintained between PTA
and GPIB software commands, maintaining any current investment
in PTA software.
