Introduction

VNA Master MS2024A/MS2026A are the most ultra-portable
VNAs on the market. They are designed to make accurate
vector corrected 1-Port and 1-path 2-Port magnitude and
phase measurements from 2 MHz to 4 GHz (MS2024A) and
2 MHz to 6 GHz (MS2026A). VNA Master’s light weight

6.4 lbs) and three hour battery life time provide you with

(

he flexibility needed to make VNA measurements anywhere.

he following graphs provide measurement uncertainty at 23°C after vector correction for the standard N connector type.

T
The errors are worse-case contributions of residual directivity, source match, frequency response, network analyzer dynamic range,
and connector repeatability. For the 1-path 2-port measurements, transmission tracking, crosstalk and physical load match terms
were added. Calibration components OSLN50-1 were used.
