Performance, size, reliability, affordability -

The TTR500A series VNA includes an impressive array of technological
and patented advances that allowed us to bend many of the traditional
trade-offs between RF performance, size, reliability, and cost.
Performance: Inside the VNA is a tightly integrated, single-board design.
At its core lies a proprietary ASIC that implements all of the transmitting
and receiving functions. Along with decades of experience in RF front-end
and shielding design, this integration allowed us to implement advanced
DSP and patented error correction techniques that dramatically improve
measurement accuracy and dynamic range.
Convenience: Traditional benchtop VNAs have a computer inside that
typically becomes obsolete by the time the product hits the market. Our
architecture enables significant improvements in size, cost, and reliability
by communicating over USB to your PC, while adding additional benefits
and convenience. For example, run VectorVu-PC with other applications,
share data seamlessly, and save individual application setups on your PC
when multiple users share the TTR500.
Size: A compact single-board design without heavy input and display
components allows the TTR500 to pack a lot of powerful functionality in a
tablet-sized frame. Store it in a drawer, pack it in your briefcase, or carry it
on a plane. Take quality test and measurement technology wherever you
need it.
Reliability: In addition to reduced part count, integration on a singleboard
consumes less energy than traditional benchtop VNAs. The board
generates less heat, resulting in lower component stresses and higher
reliability. A fanless design provides a quieter operation. We back all of this
with a three year warranty.
Affordability: With fewer parts and an integrated design, we created a
handheld VNA that delivers traditional benchtop performance and
convenience at an unrivaled price. Why settle for less?
Integrated bias tee for active devices
Use the built-in bias tee (standard in both models) to provide a DC bias to
active devices without the expense and complication of external circuitry.
Power the bias tee directly through BNC connectors on the rear panel.
