Anritsu expands VNA Master Family providing 15 GHz Coverage

01 March 2013 - Anritsu introduced the MS2027C and MS2037C, the latest two members of its VNA Master handheld vector network analyzer series. The new VNA Masters are ideal for demanding field use environments, including aerospace and defense, Satellite Communications (SATCOMS), commercial wireless backhaul, and research.

This release brings best-in-class measurement speed and high accuracy in a compact design measuring from 211 mm x 315 mm x 78 mm. The MS2037C also includes the most powerful handheld spectrum analysis capability to the 15 GHz class instrument, with unmatched performance in sensitivity, dynamic range, phase noise, frequency accuracy, and sweep speed. A built-in pre-selector eliminates spurious in displays.

The MS2027C VNA Master, which provides frequency coverage from 5 kHz – 15 GHz, specifically addresses complex cable, waveguide and antenna field test needs with accurate, vector-corrected 2-port magnitude, phase, and Time or Distance Domain measurements. A 2-port, 2-path, fully-reversing VNA, the MS2027C can be used by field engineers and technicians to measure and display all S-parameters with a single connection. Ultra-fast 350 µsec per data point sweep speed makes the MS2027C ideal for filter tuning.

Both the MS2027C and MS2037C use the field-proven VNA Master handheld platform. Their small size, light weight from 4.5 kg and battery operation make the analyzers superior to bulky benchtop or portable VNAs in field environments. Each model is designed with a high-resolution, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), as well as a 213 mm daylight-viewable display that offers hands-free operation while viewing measurement results.

The MS2027C and MS2037C are available to order with immediately effect.
