Vector Network Analyzers TTR500 Series Datasheet Benchtop performance at a fraction of the cost The TTR500 offers industry-leading price and performance. With more than 122 dB dynamic range and less than 0.008 dB RMS trace noise, the TTR500 has performance similar to expensive, conventional benchtop VNAs. Legendary support and quality meets ease-of-use and affordability. The Tektronix TTR500 series 2-port, 2-path VNA is our latest breakthrough - an unmatched combination of measurement performance and convenience. Get the power to make everyday measurements with the accuracy and confidence you expect from Tektronix, all without breaking your budget. Key performance specifications 100 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range > 122 dB dynamic range -50 to +7 dBm output power < 0.008 dB RMS trace noise Key features Full 2-port 2-path S-parameter measurement (S , S , S , S ) in a 11 21 12 22 variety of formats. Complete vector network analysis capability with Tektronix VectorVu- Compact and transportable: Take test where PC software. you need it Built-in bias tee accessible on both ports to bias active devices. Gone are the days when you had to roll a cart with a heavy, shared VNA. Application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows Weighing under 3.5 lbs (1.59 kg), the TTR500 has a form factor small environment and LabView driver. enough to fit in a briefcase. With a price tag to match, you can put a VNA Robust SCPI command interface (compatible with current VNA models) on every engineering bench to improve efficiency and uptime. In a to optimize code migration. classroom, students can get hands-on experience with industry standard test instrumentation. Touchstone file support (import/export) for use with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) simulation tools. Offline simulation mode for analysis of S-parameter files when disconnected from the instrument. Industry-leading three year warranty. Applications Antenna matching and tuning RF component design and validation Education www.tek.com 1Datasheet Performance, size, reliability, affordability - Integrated bias tee for active devices choose four 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. The TTR500A series VNA includes an impressive array of technological Power the bias tee directly through BNC connectors on the rear panel. 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.
