MFJ-226 Graphical Antenna Impedance Analyzer
2 Version 1A 1R02
INTRODUCTION
The MFJ-226 is part of the Times Technology Series of analyzers and
is a compact single-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) that
characterizes complex RF loads in 50-Ohm systems with a high
degree of accuracy. Packaged for portable use, it's easy to operate
under a wide range of test conditions yet delivers many advanced
features usually reserved for units costing much more. For example:
MFJ-226 can compensate for phase rotation and losses in
feedlines and test cables by using industry-standard
Open/Short/Load (OSL) calibration setups.
MFJ-226 calculates true reactance sign (plus or minus),
eliminating sign ambiguity.
The DDS stimulus generator provides continuous coverage
from 1 MHz to 230 MHz.
The DDS accepts both step-tuning and direct-frequency entry
via keypad.
The DDS features 1-Hz frequency resolution with rock-solid
stability
There are 32 memory files for capturing and downloading test
data to a PC.
MFJ-226 has extremely simple power requirements (two AA
batteries, Alkaline or NiMH).
All test results are displayed on a bright easy-to-read backlit
LCD display.
The deluxe backlit keypad has large positive-action keys for
easy field operation.
The thick-wall molded case is hand-contoured and rugged.
