VNA (Anritsu) Instruction
Files:
Matlab File - VNACollect.m
LabView File - exchangeData_VNA.vi
- Refer: http://dl.cdn-anritsu.com/en-us/test-measurement/ohs/10450-00008L-MS4640A-VectorStar-HELP/index.html#page/Programming_Commands%2FPM_ApA_ProgrammingBasics_LabView.07.12.html%23
Calibration:
- Set frequency range on Anritsu first before starting the calibration. It cannot be changed after calibration.
- Set up LabView VI ethernet connection before starting the calibration. After controlling Anritsu through LabView, the screen is not adjustable.
- Connect each port with a mmWave cable and 2.92 mm (K) F to SMA F adapter
- Port 1 (Open, Short, 50 ohm Impedance), Port 1 (Open, Short, 50 ohm Impedance), Thru
- Capture the baseline measurement before collecting traces.
Preparation:
- Connect Anritsu with the computer via Ethernet
- Order of execution: VNACollect.m --> exchangeData_VNA.vi
- In the Labview file, the directory where you want to save your file should be added.
The way to change the directory is Openning exchangeData_VNA.vi -> Window -> Show Block Diagram -> replace "C:\Users\lakwe\Dropbox (Princeton)\mmWall2\code\VNAData\081023\prototype2_0.2V_test6\txt\" to your own.
Also, change ":SENSE:SWEEP:POINTS 81" under data point number to your own number of frequency sample points.
Troubleshooting the Ethernet connection between LabView and Anritsu (error code 0xBFFF0011):
- Read http://dl.cdn-anritsu.com/en-us/test-measurement/ohs/10450-00008L-MS4640A-VectorStar-HELP/index.html#page/Programming_Commands%2FPM_ApA_ProgrammingBasics_LabView.07.05.html
- Open VISA Test Panel as a quick test
Code for KeySight VNA is also included.
