Anritsu MN4697C – 4-Port test set, V connectors

The Anritsu MN4697C is a 4-port test set designed for vector network analysis across RF and microwave frequencies. It features V connectors (1.85 mm) and operates from 70 kHz to 70 GHz, enabling multi-port device and circuit characterization with exceptional dynamic range and low trace noise. The test set integrates with Anritsu's VectorStar MS464xA/B series 2-port Vector Network Analyzers to extend measurement capability beyond standard 2-port configurations.

Technical Specifications Frequency Range: 70 kHz to 70 GHz (operational to 40 kHz) Connectors: V connectors (1.85 mm) Performance Characteristics:
