Measurement Options Specifications

Time Domain (Option 0002) (includes Distance Domain Option 0501)

The VNA Master can also display the S-parameter measurements in the time or distance domain using lowpass or bandpass processing analysis modes. The broadband frequency coverage coupled with 4001 data points means you can measure discontinuities both near and far with unprecedented clarity for a handheld tool. With this option, you can simultaneously view S-parameters in frequency, time, and distance domain to quickly identify faults in the field. Advanced features available with this option include step response, phasor impulse, gating, and frequency gated in time. The option includes computational routines that further enhance the Distance Domain results by compensating for cable loss, relative velocity of propagation, and dispersion compensation in waveguide.

Distance Domain

Round-Trip (reflection) Fault Resolution (meters):

(0.5 x c x Vp) / ∆F; (c is speed of light = 3E8 m/s, ∆F is F2 – F1 in Hz)

 

 

One-Way (transmission) Fault Resolution (meters):

(c x Vp) / ∆F; (c is speed of light = 3E8 m/s, ∆F is F2 – F1 in Hz)

 

 

Horizontal Range (meters):

0 to (data points – 1) x Fault Resolution to a maximum of 3000 m (9843 ft.)

 

 

Windowing

Rectangular, Nominal Side Lobe (NSL), Low Side Lobe (LSL), and Minimum Side Lobe (MSL)

 

 

Power Monitor (Option 0005) Requires external detector

Transmitter measurements in the field are possible when using this VNA Master software mode with a separately purchased Anritsu 560 series detector. A variety of detectors are available to 50 GHz, but the popular 560-7N50B covers 10 MHz to 20 GHz with a measurement range of –50 to

+20 dBm with better than 0.5 dB flatness to 18 GHz. After zeroing the detector to ensure accuracy at low power levels, the software offers intuitive operation for absolute and relative readouts in dBm or Watts.

Secure Data Operation (Option 0007)

For highly secure data handling requirements, this software option prevents the storing of measurement setup or data information onto any internal file storage location. Instead, setup and measurement information is stored ONLY to the external USB memory location. A simple factory preset prepares the VNA Master for transportation while the USB memory remains behind in the secure environment. The VNA Master cannot be switched between secure and non-secure operation by the user once configured for secure data operation. As an additional security measure, with this option enabled the user can choose to blank the frequency values displayed on the screen.
