Anritsu antenna analyzer features long battery life

The Site Master S331L handheld cable and antenna analyzer from Anritsu Corp. delivers eight hours of continuous battery operation to allow field technicians to conduct a full day's testing on a single charge. Covering a frequency range of 2MHz to 4GHz, this one-port analyzer measures return loss, VSWR, cable loss, distance-to-fault return loss, and distance-to-fault VSWR.

Anritsu claims the S331L has the highest RF immunity of any Site Master analyzer. A typical sweep speed of 1.5ms per data point enables identification of intermittent problems in real time. The S331L also features a built-in power meter for testing RF power from 50MHz to 4GHz and built-in InstaCal module, which provides fast one-connection calibration. Power-saving functions, such as sleep mode and automatic display brightness, can extend battery life beyond the continuous eight hour rating.

The S331L has a backlit 7in TFT touchscreen display, and stores more than 1,000 files including sweeps, setups and screenshots. In addition, it comes with SweepMasters Direct, a trace-delivery service that allows users to capture, upload, and deliver traces. The compact analyzer weighs less than 4.4lbs and is both dust- and splash-resistant.
