VTR0302 2-Port 3.5 GHz Vector Network Analyzer
The VTR0302 is a 2-port 1-path 3.5 GHz Vector Network Analyzer that delivers lab-grade performance in an affordable compact package, with all the features engineers have come to expect included standard in our software.
The VTR0302 is a value-priced VNA designed for common S11 and S21 measurements, making it ideal for testing antennas, filters, amplifiers, transmission lines and cables.
This portable vector network analyzer can be battery powered (12 volts) and used in the field, in the laboratory, and in production testing. This VNA can be integrated into a production test system via Manufacturing Test Plug-in.
VTR0302 VNA includes an RF measurement module and CMT VNA software application, which runs on Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 board single-board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. This VNA control software will also run on an ARM based computer such as the Raspberry Pi. CMT VNA software can be installed on multiple computers, making it easy to share the use of the analyzer measurement module.
VNAs and ACMs are delivered with factory calibration certificates containing no uncertainty data. The add-on option for ISO17025/Z540-1 Accredited, Traceable Calibration Certificate and Uncertainties is available and needs to be specified at time of order.

Datasheets
The VTR0302 is a versatile tool for RF component design and testing. It supports return loss measurements, on-wafer probing, field testing, distance-to-fault analysis, antenna matching, and more.
It is well-suited for land mobile radio (LMR) users performing filter and diplexer tuning or antenna and feed line verification. Broadcast engineers can use it for antenna design and evaluation, with easy adaptation to 75 Ohm systems using matching pads. Other common applications include evaluating cellular power amplifiers and antennas, testing components commonly used in military radar systems such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, and circulators, Wi-Fi testing, and L-Band satellite communication applications like GPS and satellite-based internet.
