Chapter 1 — General Information
1-1 Introduction
This manual provides service and maintenance information for the Anritsu ShockLine MS46131A Vector
Network Analyzer. The information includes product description, performance verification procedures, parts
removal and replacement procedures, and troubleshooting information.
The ME7868A is a modular 2-port VNA consisting of two ShockLine MS46131A 1-port VNAs, a frequency
option, and a s PhaseLync™ Synchronization option.
1-2 Description
The ShockLine MS46131A Vector Network Analyzer is a 1-port USB Vector Network Analyzer that is
controlled from an external PC running ShockLine software. It is based on patented ShockLine VNA-on-chip
technology, which simplifies the internal VNA architecture at high frequencies, reduces instrument cost, and
enhances accuracy and measurement repeatability. The combination of low cost and good performance make
MS46131A Vector Network Analyzer ideal candidates for testing RF and Microwave passive devices to
43.5 GHz.
The PhaseLync option enables two MS46131A Vector Network Analyzers to phase synchronize, enabling
vector 2-port S-parameter measurements. The two ShockLine MS46131A VNAs determine the instrument
performance of the ME7868A, as they become the test ports and provide the source and measurement
capabilities for the 2-port VNA. The PhaseLync option supports synchronization between two MS46131A
Vector Network Analyzers up to a distance of 100 meters. For simplicity purposes, the ME7868A and
MS46131A-012 will be used interchangeably when referring to 2-port measurements or verifications, as two
MS46131A-012 VNAs enable the ME7868A system.
