TR5048 VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZER
The highly compact TR5048 VNA is a 4.8 GHz, 2-port 1-path instrument, capable of 120 dB dynamic range and designed for operation with any Windows PC or laptop. Thanks to its unmatched portability, TR5048 can be shared easily within a team or brought to test sites. The free, lightweight VNA application connects to the TR5048 with a standard USB cable, creating a future-proof solution that significantly enhances ease of use compared with conventional instruments.
The TR5048 provides a wide variety of analysis capabilities, including time-domain with gating and frequency offset modes, at no additional cost. Collection of metrology-grade S-parameter test results can be achieved manually or through automation in Python, MATLAB, Excel, C++, VB.NET, or LabVIEW.
