Anritsu S251B Scalar Network Analyzer 2.5GHz

The Anritsu S251B is a broadband, two-port Site Master cable and antenna analyzer designed for field technicians and engineers. It has comprehensive measurement capabilities for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of wireless communication systems, operating within the cellular, PCS/GSM, and ISM bands. Its solid design and advanced features provide accurate and reliable data essential for ensuring optimal performance of antenna and cable systems. The Anritsu S251B is characterized by its high immunity to RF interference, enabling precise measurements even in active RF environments. Its high dynamic range facilitates antenna-to-antenna isolation measurements, while selectable output levels and an optional bias tee support Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) gain verification. The instrument is supported by Anritsu's Site Master Software Tools, compatible with Windows 95, 98, and NT, allowing for trace and cable parameter downloads via an RS-232 serial port.
