Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring and interconnecting VNA modules in daisy chains or via hubs are disclosed which overcome the constraints on the arrangement of the VNA modules in a system and the limitations on the flexibility and performance of the system present in the prior art. The VNA modules have ports which can be configured as input or output ports. In embodiments, configurable optical ports allow for long distance interconnection of VNA modules and hubs without loss of synchronization.
