This unit
The Anritsu MS46121B is a 1-port USB Vector Network Analyzer engineered for S11 reflection measurements of passive components and assemblies. Operating from 150 kHz to 6 GHz, this compact instrument connects directly to the device under test and draws power and control signals from a standard PC via USB. Its minimal footprint - 52 mm × 36 mm × 144 mm, weighing 0.4 kg - makes it ideal for manufacturing floors, lab benches, and field deployment without sacrificing measurement accuracy.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 150 kHz to 6 GHz
Measurement Parameters: S11; user-defined combinations of a1, b1; scalar transmission (S|XY|) via Option 21
Sweep Speed: 120 µs/point typical (140 µs/point dependent on host PC configuration)
Trace Noise: Magnitude 0.02 dB typical; Phase 0.02° RMS
Corrected Directivity: 42 dB typical
Data Points: 2 to 20,000 points per sweep
IF Bandwidth: 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, 200, 300, 500, 700 Hz; 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 kHz
Limit Lines: Single or multi-segment (50 segments per trace, 2 lines per trace)
Markers: 12 active markers + 1 reference marker per trace
Port Configuration: Type N(m) connector
Power: USB-powered from user-supplied PC
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C
Key Features
Display & Control: ShockLine GUI supports up to 16 independent traces per channel with full trace memory
Time Domain: Standard bandpass time-domain gating for fault location; Option 2 adds TDR-style impedance analysis
Scalar Transmission: Option 21 enables magnitude-only measurements between multiple MS46121B units in 1-to-1 or 1-to-n configurations
Multisite Operation: Single PC can control up to 16 MS46121B analyzers in parallel via ShockLine software, maximizing test throughput
Typical Applications Manufacturing test floors, component verification, education, impedance profiling, cable and connector assessment, and rapid reflection-coefficient measurement workflows.
Compatibility & Integration Runs native ShockLine software shared across MS46121B, MS46122B, MS46131A, ME786xA, MS46322B, MS46522B, and MS46524B platforms. Compatible with Anritsu precision-component and mechanical calibration kits.
