Reference Plane

Auto Reference Plane Extension

The reference planes of a calibration (or other normalization) can be changed by entering a line length. Assumes no loss, flat magnitude, linear phase, and constant impedance.

Instead of manually entering a line length, this feature automatically adjusts phase shift from the current calibration (or other normalization) to compensate for external cables (or test fixtures). Assumes no loss, flat magnitude, linear phase, and constant impedance.

Frequency Range Frequency range of the measurement can be narrowed within the calibration range without recalibration.

Group Delay Aperture

Defined as the frequency span over which the phase change is computed at a given frequency point. The aperture can be changed without recalibration. The minimum aperture is the frequency range divided by the number of points in calibration and can be increased to 20% of the frequency range.

Group Delay Range < 180º of phase change within the aperture

Cable Loss, Log Mag / 2 (dB)

Round-trip cable loss measurements are convenient for field personnel testing installed cable or waveguide runs. This one-port technique provides one-way data after twice traversing the cable. The following two sets of uncertainty curves, less than 6 GHz on the left and greater than 6 GHz on the right, present worst-case uncertainty by DUT Match (i.e., Log Mag) when using VNA Master for one-port cable loss measurements. As a practical tip, consider using a two-port transmission measurement technique to improve upon these one-port cable loss uncertainties.

These uncertainty curves show how frequency range, DUT Match, and cable loss impact worst-case uncertainty of round-trip cable loss measurements. The uncertainty curves, separated by frequency range, are shown for DUT Match cable loss conditions of -20 dB, -25 dB, and -30 dB. For DUT Match of 30 dB and cable loss of 4 dB to 5 dB (reflection measurement of 8 dB to 10 dB) the worst-case uncertainties are approximately ± 1 dB.

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.

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)

Distance Domain

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)

Distance Domain (Option 0501) (not required if Option 0002 is purchased)

Distance Domain Analysis is a powerful field test tool to analyze cables for faults, including minor discontinuities that may occur due to a loose connection, corrosion, or other aging effects. By using Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR), the VNA Master exploits a user-specified band of full power operational frequencies (instead of DC pulses from TDR approaches) to more precisely identify cable discontinuities. The VNA Master converts S-parameters from frequency domain into distance domain on the horizontal display axis, using a mathematical computation called Inverse Fourier Transform. Connect a reflection at the opposite end of the cable and the discontinuities appear versus distance to reveal any potential maintenance issues. When access to both ends of the cable is convenient, a similar distance domain analysis is available on transmission measurements. Option 0501 Distance Domain will improve your productivity with displays of the cable in terms of discontinuities versus distance. This readout can then be compared against previous measurements (from stored data) to determine whether any degradations have occurred since installation (or the last maintenance activity). More importantly, you will know precisely where to go to fix the problem and so minimize or prevent downtime of the system.

Power Monitor (Option 0005) (MS202xC models only) (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.

Bias Tee (Option 0010)

For tower mounted amplifier tests, the MS20x/3xC series with optional internal bias tees can supply both DC and RF signals on the center conductor of the cable during measurements. For frequency sweeps in excess of 2 MHz, the VNA Master can supply internal voltage control from +12 to +32 V in 0.1 V steps up to 450 mA. To extend battery life, an external power supply can substitute for the internal supply by using the external bias inputs instead. Both test ports can be configured to supply voltage via this integrated bias tees option. Bias can be directed to VNA Port 1 or Port 2.

Vector Voltmeter (Option 0015)

A phased array system relies on phase matched cables for nominal performance. For this class of application, the VNA Master offers this special software mode to simplify phase matching cables at a single frequency. The similarity between the popular vector voltmeter and this software mode ensures minimal training is required to phase match cables. Operation is as simple as configuring the display for absolute or relative measurements. The easy-to-read large fonts show either reflection or transmission measurements using impedance, magnitude, or VSWR readouts. For instrument landing system (ILS) or VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR) applications, a table view improves operator efficiency when phase matching up to twelve cables. The MS202x/3xC solution is superior because the signal source is included internally, precluding the need for an external signal generator.
