Anritsu MS2024A

VNA Master MS2024A and MS2026A are the most advanced ultra portable handheld VNAs on the market featuring unparalleled performance at modest prices.

The new VNA Master is a handheld Vector Network Analyzer designed to make accurate vector corrected 1-port and 1-path 2-port magnitude and phase measurements from 2 MHz to 4 GHz (MS2024A) and 2 MHz to 6 GHz (MS2026A). The MS2024A and MS2026A take advantage of the latest DSP processors technology enabling very fast measurements for both Return Loss and Distance-To-Fault measurements. High and Low power settings for 2-port measurements eliminate the need for external attenuators when performing direct gain measurements. Using Anritsu’s precision components, better than 42 dB of corrected directivity can be obtained over the entire frequency range. The internal memory can store more than 1000 traces and setups and information can easily be transferred to a computer using either a memory card, an Ethernet connection, or the USB connection.

The MS2024A and MS2026A’s wide frequency range and overall performance find applications in multiple markets. Providing 1-port and 2-port coverage down to 2 MHz fills a requirement for military/defense applications and eliminates the need for bench top VNAs in the field for S11 and S21 measurements. Both the military/defense and commercial wireless markets will appreciate the VNA Master’s portable Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) based Return Loss and DTF measurements to verify system performance and locate degradations and faults in cable and antenna systems. General purpose VNA customers looking for an economical solution to make accurate S11 and S21 measurements need to look no more.
