Handheld vector network analysers
In February 2013, Anritsu Company introduced the MS2027C and MS2037C, two new members of its VNA Master handheld vector network analyser series that bring the inherent advantages of VNA Master to 15 GHz frequency applications. Providing a best-in-class measurement speed and high accuracy in a compact design measuring just as small as 21.08 cm x 31.5 cm x 7.87 cm (8.3 x 12.4 x 3.1 inches), the new MS2027C and MS2037C are ideal for demanding field use environments, including aerospace and defence, SATCOM, commercial wireless backhaul, and research. Both the MS2027C and MS2037C incorporate the field-proven VNA Master handheld platform. Their small size, light weight of 4.76 kg (10.5 lbs) and being battery operated makes the analysers superior to bulky bench-top or portable VNAs in field environments.

Real-time spectrum analysers
In February 2013, Agilent Technologies launched real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) for its PXA X-Series signal analysers. RTSA delivers unmatched probability of intercept (POI), analysis bandwidth, sensitivity and frequency range—capabilities that make it the best way for system developers and signal analysts to see, capture and understand highly elusive signals. In applications such as radar, electronic warfare and military communications, POI is the key benchmark for RTSA. When configured for real-time spectrum analysis, the PXA can detect intermittent signals with durations as short as 3.57 µs, which is the best POI currently available.

Handheld spectrum analysers
In February 2013, Saelig introduced Thurlby Thandar Instruments’ (TTI) PSA2702 PSA Series II RF spectrum analysers. Available in 1.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz versions, the new instruments are smaller, lighter and have a longer battery life than other more expensive handheld RF products, claims the company. PSA series II analysers incorporate a 10.9 cm (4.3-inch) backlit TFT colour touch-screen display, with a high capacity rechargeable Li-ion battery to give more than eight hours operation per charge. PSA Series II PSA1302 has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 1300 MHz, while the PSA Series II PSA2702 operates up to 2700 MHz. Dynamic range is 80dB with a noise floor at -100dBm. Resolution bandwidth is selectable down to 15 kHz.
