26.5 GHz Handheld VNA & TDR Adapter

The AEM Networks 26.5 GHz Handheld VNA & TDR Adapter transforms the portable TestPro platform into a high-frequency, dual-mode test solution for laboratory, production and field environments. Operating from 1 MHz to 26.5 GHz, it brings advanced RF measurement capability closer to where cables, harnesses and interconnects are actually built, installed and maintained – reducing dependence on dedicated laboratory equipment.

Business Benefits

Bring high-frequency testing closer to the job – and improve productivity across engineering, production and field operations.

The 26.5 GHz Handheld VNA & TDR Adapter helps organisations reduce equipment duplication, accelerate fault diagnosis and extend advanced RF testing beyond the laboratory. By combining VNA analysis, high-resolution TDR, PASS/FAIL workflows and field-ready deployment on the TestPro platform, it creates practical benefits for users across the testing process.

Field & Test Engineers

Key priority: Diagnose Faster and Test with Greater Precision

  • Perform high-frequency testing directly in the field
  • Pinpoint faults with approximately 3.8 mm TDR resolution
  • Use VNA and TDR capabilities on one platform
  • Reduce reliance on separate laboratory instruments
  • Simplify fault localisation with visual TDR event mapping
  • Compare against known-good cables for faster troubleshooting

Outcome: Find faults faster, reduce diagnostic time and complete more testing at the point of need.

Project Managers

Key priority: Improve Throughput and Test Consistency

  • Introduce repeatable end-of-line test workflows
  • Apply standard or custom PASS/FAIL limits
  • Reduce dependence on subjective operator judgement
  • Pre-load harness profiles for different products or platforms
  • Improve traceability through structured test-result management
  • Extend testing across production lines and multiple sites

Outcome: Increase testing consistency, improve throughput and strengthen production quality control.

Engineering & R&D Managers
