Description
The MS2024A and MS2026A VNA Masters are handheld Vector Network Analyzers designed to make accurate vector
corrected 1-port magnitude, phase, and fault location measurements and 1-path, 2-port magnitude and phase measure-
ments from 2 MHz to 6 GHz.
RF immunity rejection up to +17 dBm allows for accurate measurements in RF rich environments. More than 1000
traces and setups can be stored in internal memory and data can be transferred to a computer via Ethernet, USB, or mem-
ory card.
Frequency Ranges
MS2024A 2 MHz to 4 GHz
