Interference Analyzer Option: Spectrogram, Signal Strength, RSSI.
AM/FM/PM Modulation Analyzer Option: Carrier Power, Center Frequency, Occupied Bandwidth, Audio Waveform & Spectrum, Deviation, SINAD, THD.

Simple but Powerful

The goal of Spectrum Analyzer measurements is to accurately monitor, measure, and analyze RF signals and their environments. It finds rouge signals, measures carriers and distortion, and verifies base stations´ signal performance. It validates carrier frequency and identifies desired and undesired signals.

The VNA Master™ MS203xC models feature the most powerful handheld spectrum analyzer in their class with unmatched performance in:

Sensitivity
Dynamic Range
Phase Noise

Frequency Accuracy
Sweep Speed

The VNA Master™ offers full control over bandwidth and sweep settings, or can be set to automatically optimize for best possible trade-off between accuracy and speed.

GPS-Enhanced Frequency Accuracy

With GPS Option 31 the spectrum analyzer frequency accuracy (for MS203xC models) is improved to 25 ppb (parts per billion) while the GPS is locked. After 3 minutes of GPS lock, the GPS antenna can be removed and the MS203xC will maintain 50 ppb frequency accuracy for up to 72 hours.

Rx Noise Floor Testing

The VNA Master™ can measure the receive noise floor on a base station´s uplink channel using the channel power measurement. An elevated noise floor indicates interference that can lead to call blocking, denial of service, call drops, low data rates, and lowered system capacity.

S-Parameter Analysis in the Field

The VNA Master™ MS202xB/3xB series is a compact handheld multifunction instrument that offers a portable yet powerful vector network analyzer, allowing you to do S-parameter analysis in the field - anytime, anywhere. The MS203xB models also offer a highperformance spectrum analyzer with industry-leading ultra-low noise floor. Based on Anritsu´s 9th generation handheld platform, the VNA Master™ offers unmatched measurement breadth, depth, and precision; reducing the number of different tools needed to analyze modern communication systems in the field, on a tower, on a flightline or in a vehicle.

Vector Analyzer Key Features

Broadband coverage of 500 kHz to 4/6 GHz 1-path, 2-port Vector Network Analyzer
Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) with convenient Touch Screen
VNA-quality error correction for directivity and source match
2-port Transmission Measurements: High/Low Power

2 Port Vector Network Analyzer

VNA Master™ features a 2-port Vector Network Analyzer to be able to test and verify the performance of feedline, filtering, and antenna components. This includes:

Connectors
Cables/Jumpers
Antenna Isolators

Multicouplers/Diplexers/Duplexers
Tower Mounted Amplifiers

Antenna System Failure Mechanisms

Maintenance is an on going requirement as antenna system performance can degrade at any point in time due to:

Loose connectors
Improperly weatherized connectors
Pinched cables
Poor grounding
Corroded connectors

Lightning strikes
Strong winds misaligning antennas
Water intrusion into cables
Bullet holes, nails, or rodent damage to the cable

Making Measurements Easier

The VNA Master™ provides features for making measurements easier to perform and for analyzing test results such as:

Fast sweep speed, measurement point selection, and flexible display formats make it easy to view and adjust base station RF system performance.
High RF Immunity mode for testing in harsh RF environments.
Trace Overlay compares reference traces to see changes over time.
Limit Lines and Alarming for providing reference standards.
High and Low Power output selection to test tower-top components without climbing the tower.
Internal Bias-Tee to power up TMAs for testing when off-line.
GPS tagging of data to verify location of tests.
User-selectable menu scheme offers choice of either full VNA capability or simplified cable and antenna user interface.

Spectrum Analyzer

The VNA Master™ MS203xB models feature the most powerful handheld spectrum analyzer in their class with unmatched performance in:

Sensitivity
Dynamic Range
Phase Noise

Frequency Accuracy
Sweep Speed

Simple but Powerful

The VNA Master™ features dedicated routines for one-button measurements. For more in-depth analysis, the technician has control over settings and features that are not found even on lab-grade benchtop spectrum analyzers. For example, the VNA Master™ MS203xB models offers:

Multiple sweep detection methods - Peak, Negative, True RMS, Quasi-Peak, Sample.
Advanced marker functions - noise marker, tracking marker, peak search, sequential peak search, delta markers.
Advanced limit line functions - automatic envelope creation, relative limits, limit mirror, point/ segment/ line adjustment.
Save-on-Event - automatically saves a sweep when crossing a limit line.

The VNA Master™ offers full control over bandwidth and sweep settings, or can be set to automatically optimize for best possible trade-off between accuracy and speed.

GPS-Assisted Frequency Accuracy

With GPS Option 31 the frequency accuracy is reduced to < 50 ppb (parts per billion). Also all measurements can be GPS tagged for exporting to maps.
