Introducing…. Lightning D series

New Theme• Premium models (373XXD)• Economy models (372XXD)

New Features• Ethernet connectivity• Flexible test set option• Improved performance• NxN and embed/de-embed applications• Updated interfaces and software tools

Ethernet Connectivity

• Allows fast data transfer and programming over Ethernet

• New RJ-45 connector added on the rear panel for network connection

• New menus include IP addressing and Subnet mask to connect Lightning onto a network

• Enables remote operation of Lightning from anywhere (without a GPIB cable)

Network Set-Up Menu

Ethernet Connectivity

• Speed test results show Ethernet 6 times faster than GPIB

Raw transfer speed testedEthernet = 858.74 kB/secondGPIB = 164.80 kB/second

New Printer Connector

New EthernetConnector

New Rear Panel Interface

Flexible Test Set (Option 15)

• Provides direct access to all four reference and test channels• Useful for measurements of mixers, antennas, and integration with

external test sets• Required for upgrading to the 65 GHz multiport VNA

(37397D w/Option 15 is the foundation for a 65 GHz multiport system)• Also includes two source auxiliary loops (one for each port) to add

external amplifiers for higher source power

Option 15 – Flexible Test Set

New Integrated Applications

NxN Application

• Complete menus to perform NxN error correction calibration for mixer measurements

• Allows measurement of three pairs of mixers and then uses one of them as the reference

• Standard application provided free with every unit

NxNApplication

Menu

NxN Mixer Measurement Example

• Requires three mixers – one of which needs to be reciprocal

• Help menus guide through measurements of three pairs of mixers for calibration

• S2P file for each of the mixers is calculated from the measurements by selecting ‘Solve Device’

• Calibration automatically de-embeds the mixer used as reference in measurement of DUT

NxN Mixer Measurement Set-Up

New Integrated Applications

Embed/De-embed Application Menu

Embed/De-Embed Application

• Allows embedding/de-embedding of complete S2P networks for in-fixture measurements

• Embedding/de-embedding can also be applied to a calibration, similar to the adapter removal method

• The embedded/de-embedded calibration can be saved onto the VNA hard disk or floppy for future measurements

Embedding/De-Embedding Examples

De-embedding example – On-wafer measurements of a DUT with length of transmission line

• Wafer must also contain a separate similar length transmission line• Perform a calibration, measure the thruline by itself, and save the S2P

file• Measure the DUT and de-embed S2P of transmission line to remove its

effects from the DUT measurementEmbedding example – Design of an amplifier with an appropriate matching circuit• Perform a calibration and measure the amplifier• Embed the S2P files of matching networks from ADS or other

simulation software to optimize design

Updated Front & Rear Panel

Updated Software Utilities

• VNA Utilities updated to add Ethernet interface – Capture VNA, FTP utility, etc.
