Uncertainty Curves for Round-Trip Cable Loss Measurements (1-Port) 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.

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.
Bias Tee (Option 0010) Vector Voltmeter (Option 0015) 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.
High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 0019) Requires external USB power sensor. Conduct precise measurements of CW and digitally modulated transmitters in the field using this VNA Master software mode with a separately purchased Anritsu USB power sensor. After specifying the center frequency and zeroing the sensor to ensure accuracy at low power levels, the software offers intuitive operation for absolute and relative readouts in dBm or Watts. Option 0019 supports the USB Power Sensors in the following table.
GPS (Option 0031), (Models MS2036/38C only) Requires external GPS antenna Built-in GPS provides location information (latitude, longitude, altitude) and Universal Time (UT) information for storage along with trace data so you can later verify that measurements were taken at the right location. The GPS option requires a separately ordered magnet mount GPS antenna (2000-1528-R), which is configured with a 15 foot (~5 m) cable to mount outside on a metallic surface.

Ancillary Module extends Optical Fiber Testing to Distance-to-Fault The ODTF-1 module is primarily intended for field use by technicians and engineers responsible for the deployment and maintenance of remote radio heads (RRH), and nicely complements the field diagnostic power of the VNA Master. The ODTF-1 module is fully compatible with the MS202x/3xC VNA Masters which are equipped with the Time Domain Option 0002 or Distance Domain Option 0501.
Master Software Tools and Remote Programming Each VNA Master ships with a versatile test assistant: a copy of Anritsu’s Master Software Tools for Windows® 2000/XP/Vista/7. This allows an operator to add the processing capabilities of a PC and this software utility to the VNA Master to form a powerful and flexible measurement solution for network analysis. For automation, the VNA Master also supports remote programming via the Ethernet or USB interface.
