Anritsu Option 24, Universal Fixture Extraction
The MS46522B-024 is an official option for the Anritsu ShockLine MS46522B series of Vector Network Analyzers. This option enables Universal Fixture Extraction (UFX), which allows users to de-embed test fixtures from measurement results, improving the accuracy of S-parameter measurements for devices mounted in test fixtures. The UFX capability is designed to support a wide range of fixture types and topologies, providing flexibility for various test environments. This option is particularly useful for engineers who need to characterize devices in non-standard or custom test setups, ensuring that the measured data reflects the true performance of the device under test by mathematically removing the effects of the fixture.
