Description

The VNA Master MS2037C is Anritsu’s mid-tier model of the the MS202xC/3xC family, offering Vector Network Analyzer frequency coverage from 5 kHz to 15 GHz PLUS a Spectrum Analyzer covering 9 kHz to 15 GHz. The VNA Master MS2037C offers a high-performance spectrum analyzer with ultra-low noise floor. Based on Anritsu’s industry-leading handheld platform, the VNA Master MS2037C offers unmatched measurement capabilities and precision; reducing the number of different tools needed to analyze modern communication systems on land, sea, air and in space.

Equally impressive, this measurement tool offers the industry’s first 12-term error correction algorithm in a handheld VNA. With a typical measurement speed of 350 µsec per point, this is ideally suited for tuning filters in the field, where multiple S-parameters often interact during tuning. Using a 3-receiver architecture, the MS2037C can measure and display all 4 S-parameters at once with with a single connection to the DUT.

RF engineers and technicians in the field provide installation and maintenance support for aerospace, defense, and general purpose communication systems around the world. These might typically include radars on Navy and Coast Guard ships, communications on Army vehicles, flight-line test on Air Force, Marine, and commercial aircraft. They support VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR) antennas in radio navigational systems globally. They will be routinely faced with a wide variety of system elements that can cause failures in the overall system: antennas, cables, filters, multiplexers, amplifiers, isolators, circulators, switches, and other sophisticated elements.

VNA Master also serves in new high technology applications such as radome/dielectric tests in the field. Its VNA error-correction functions vital to innovative test fixtures for dielectrics, laminates, ferrites, lossy paints, and more, offered by manufacturers such as Damaskos, Inc. Another novel application is the age-old problem of fault location in aircraft and shipboard wire cable bundles that snake through bulkheads and compartments. See Application Note in Library Tab.
