New Generation of Site Master handheld cable and antenna analysers

22 June 2012

Anritsu introduced the Site Master S331L cable and antenna analyser, rugged handheld field instrumentation that builds off the field-proven design and success of the Site Master to provide high-performance cable and antenna analysis quickly and accurately.

The S331L, which covers 2 MHz to 4 GHz, brings a high level of performance to return loss, cable loss, and Distance-to-Fault (DTF) measurements. It has the highest RF immunity of any Site Master. A sweep speed per data point of 1.5 msec (typical) saves technicians time and enables easier identification of intermittent problems in real time. Helping ensure measurement accuracy is the standard built-in InstaCal, which provides fast one-connection calibration anytime, anywhere. The S331L also features a standard built-in power meter, for easy, convenient testing of RF power in field environments.

With eight hours of continuous battery life, the S331L allows field technicians to conduct a full day’s testing on a single charge. Intelligent power-saving features – such as sleep mode and auto-display brightness that automatically reduces the screen’s backlight when the analyser is not in use – can extend battery life well beyond the continuous eight hour rating.
