Anritsu S820E Sitemaster, Cable and Antenna Analyzer, up to 40 GHz (option dependent)

RENT ANRITSU S820E

The Anritsu S820E SITEMASTER is the pinnacle of handheld microwave analysis, featuring a comprehensive frequency range from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. As the most advanced Site Master upon its introduction, it includes Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and Vector Voltmeter (VVM) options, allowing users to easily adapt the instrument to their evolving measurement needs. Upgrades are seamless with the ability to purchase option activation keys, negating the need to send the device back for service. The S820E comes fully equipped with all necessary hardware and calibration processes already embedded during manufacture.

The S820E stands out as the most feature-rich microwave analyzer in its class, boasting standard Video Inspection Probe (VIP) Mode (available with firmware version V1.17 or greater). This mode enables users to verify fiber connectors and conduct Pass/Fail testing according to the IEC 61300-3-35 standard, alongside traditional coaxial and waveguide measurements. An Anritsu compatible USB Video Inspection Probe, like the G0306A 400x USB VIP (sold separately), is required for fiber inspections. VIP results can be easily saved as images or measurement files and converted into PDF reports directly from the device. These measurement files are compatible with Anritsu's other optical testing products, including the MT1000A Network Master Pro and the MT9000 series OTDR products.

Key Features:

Vector Network Analyzer Mode:

• Fully reversible sweep capability for easily obtaining S₁₂ and S₂₂ measurements without reorienting the DUT.
• Simultaneous measurement of all 4 S-Parameters for 2-port devices with configurable quad display.
• Generates S2P files in 3 different formats, facilitating easy import into Anritsu benchtop VNA’s (VectorStar™ and ShockLine™).
• Diverse graph types and customizable display settings enhance user experience.
• Reference plane extension compensates for losses in connections, ensuring precise results.

Vector Voltmeter Mode:

• Offers vector error correction for accurate reflection and transmission measurements.
• Supports A/B and B/A ratio measurements, serving as a modern replacement for legacy Vector Voltmeters.
• Multiple measurement formats including LogMag, LinMag, SWR, and Impedance.
• Table Display capability for simultaneous measurement across multiple devices, enhancing efficiency during multi-array antenna system tuning.

Dynamic Range and Performance:

With a dynamic range of up to 110 dB at frequencies up to 40 GHz, the S820E significantly outperforms many benchtop VNA models. Its robust architecture ensures superior stability and repeatability, particularly critical for applications like glide slope installation and verification.

Advanced Connectivity:

The S820E includes modern connectivity options such as USB and Ethernet, enabling full remote control capabilities, making it perfect for both field and lab applications. Its architecture leverages advanced sampler technology used in high-end VectorStar™ models to deliver unmatched microwave performance in a compact design.
