On this web page, you can select various tabs for more information about your instrument. Included is a

“Library” tab which contains links to all the latest technical documentation related to this instrument.

1. ME7838E4/E4X Main Components

ME7838E4/E4X Broadband Systems

The ME783A4 Multiport Broadband system consists of the following components:

•MS4647B VNA with Option 007 (Receiver Offset) and Option 08x (Modular Broadband Connection

Capability)

•MN4697C Multiport Test Set

•3736B Broadband Test Set

•3739C Broadband Test Set

•Four 3743E/EX mmWave Modules

•Front and rear panel cables

ME7838E4/E4X Banded Systems

The ME7838E4/E4X Multiport Banded system consists of the following components:

•MS464xB VNA with Option 08x

•MN469xC Multiport Test Set

•3736B Broadband Test Set

•3739C Broadband Test Set

•Four 3744E-EE, 3744E-EW, or four OML/VDI mmWave Modules

•Front and rear panel cables

Caution

A MS464xB VNA unit is heavy. To avoid personal injury, it must be lifted and maneu-

vered 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.
