Vector Network Analyzers for Cable & Broadcast

Vector network analyzers are a valuable tool for broadcast engineers. VNAs enable users to perform an array of measurements including cable loss, return loss, VSWR, distance to fault, and time domain. CMT’s USB VNAs help broadcasters extend their reach and easily perform maintenance in the field or in the shop.

50 MHz - 3.5 GHz

These TR Series VNAs from Copper Mountain Technologies brings laboratory-grade network analysis to radio and broadcast engineers at an unmatched value. The VTR0102, covering 50 MHz to 1.5 GHz, is ideally suited for maintaining and optimizing RF systems used in AM/FM radio and VHF/UHF broadcast television. Its wide frequency coverage supports measurements of antennas, filters, combiners, and transmission lines across the full broadcast spectrum.

With a measurement time of only 35 µs per point, engineers can quickly perform high-accuracy sweeps to verify system performance or troubleshoot on-site issues. Compact, fast, and precise, the TR Series provides all the capabilities needed to ensure reliable transmission quality and maximum on-air efficiency, at a fraction of the cost of traditional benchtop VNAs.
