Navy chooses vector network analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz to test RF and microwave and power components
CORONA, Calif. – U.S. Navy test and measurement experts needed vector network analyzers to support the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, Measurement Science and Engineering Department in Corona, Calif. They found their solution from Rohde & Schwarz USA Inc. in Columbia, Md.
Officials of the Measurement Science and Engineering Department of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona Division in Corona, Calif., announced a $7.3 million contract to Rohde & Schwarz this week for vector network analyzers.
Navy test and measurement experts will use these test instruments to calibrate devices like attenuators, power sensors, filters, terminations, and other RF and microwave passive devices.
Rohde & Schwarz offers several high-performance network analyzers to 500 GHz and multiport solutions to 48 ports to analyze passive and active components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers, and multiport modules.
The network analyzers feature analysis functions to help test engineers evaluate important parameters at a glance, company officials say.
