1-2 Instrument Description
The Anritsu VNA Master instruments are portable handheld vector network analyzers
(VNAs) featuring precise performance and essential RF capabilities. These VNA Master
instruments are designed to conduct accurate vector-corrected 1-port magnitude, phase, and
fault location measurements and 2-port magnitude, phase, and group delay measurements
from 5 kHz to 20 GHz. The MS203xC models add Spectrum Analyzer capabilities that
provide quick and accurate measurement results for monitoring, measuring, and analyzing
signal environments. The Spectrum Analyzer offers broad spectrum analysis with frequency
coverage to 20 GHz, impressive dynamic range, and excellent phase noise performance.
Standard measurements include field strength, occupied bandwidth (OBW), channel power,
adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), and carrier to interference (C/I) ratio.
Trace Storage
Time and date stamping of measurement data is automatic. The internal memory provides
for the storage and recall of more than 4000 measurement setups and traces. External
storage can be used for bulk measurement storage. Measurements and setups can be stored
in a USB flash drive or transferred to a PC by using the included USB cable. Use
Line Sweep Tools (LST) for certain VNA measurements and Master Software Tools (MST) for
spectral analysis measurements.
Note
Not all after-market USB drives are compatible with the VNA Master. Many drives
come with a second partition that contains proprietary firmware. This partition must
be removed. Only one partition is allowed. Refer to the individual manufacturer for
instructions on how to remove it. You may also try reformatting a drive that
contains a single partition using FAT32 format.
