Anritsu 60N50 VSWR Bridge, 5 MHz – 2 GHz

The Anritsu 60N50 VSWR Bridge is a precision measurement instrument for SWR and return loss characterization across the 5 MHz to 2 GHz band. This 50 Ohm bridge couples with external test equipment to deliver swept-frequency return loss and SWR measurements essential for component and system validation. It quantifies impedance mismatches and signal reflections in amplifiers, directional couplers, attenuators, filters, splitters, terminations, cables, and antennas used in RF and microwave communication systems.
