Tektronix TTR500 Series vector network analyser (VNA)

Tektronix’s TTR500 Series vector network analyser (VNA) features a 122 dB dynamic range and 6 GHz frequency range. It also includes VectorVu-PC analysis software and what is claimed to be the only built-in bias tee for testing active devices in this category.

Among the markets with a critical need for a VNA are Internet of Things (IoT) design and education. VNAs help IoT designers match Bluetooth, WLAN, RFID and other radios to antennas. In many cases, designers must rent or borrow VNAs, adding time and expense to projects. In education, the high cost of VNAs means students get little to no hands-on time with an important instrument. The series lowers the barrier to entry and features an easy-to-use user interface for common tasks. Its small, compact form factor eliminates the need to roll around a shared VNA.
