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.

Challenges Solved

High-Frequency Testing Locked in the Lab

  • The Challenge: Most handheld TDR and cable testers top out at a restrictive 3 GHz to 6 GHz. This makes the field verification of 5G mmWave feeds, 10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet, and advanced ADAS interconnects entirely impossible outside of a laboratory environment.
  • The Solution: The 26G Handheld Adapter brings laboratory-grade 26.5 GHz capabilities directly to the point of installation, allowing for immediate in-line testing and real-time fault location.

Two Instruments Where One Should Do

  • The Challenge: Engineers and technicians running both S-parameter sweeps and TDR fault-location have historically been forced to transport, set up, and switch between separate dedicated instruments.
  • The Solution: The integrated dual-mode architecture eliminates equipment redundancy. By condensing both workflows into a single unit, operations cut down on kit weight, procurement costs, and valuable deployment time on the manufacturing floor.

Slow, Manual Fault Diagnosis in Cable Harnesses

  • The Challenge: Interpreting raw, complex TDR waveforms requires a high level of specialized engineering expertise, which slows down the testing loop and increases errors.
  • The Solution: The platform features a visual TDR event map, a streamlined “reference-against-known-good-cable” workflow, and pre-loadable per-job harness profiles. This significantly reduces the technical skill threshold required for technicians to isolate faults in complex automotive wire harnesses.

Manufacturing Throughput and Data Traceability

  • The Challenge: End-of-line cable testing conducted without automated validation relies heavily on subjective operator judgment, resulting in inconsistent quality control and fragmented data records.
  • The Solution: Fully configurable test limits and instantaneous PASS/FAIL indicators provide objective, repeatable metrics. Seamless integration with TestData Pro software guarantees automated, fully auditable results recorded at true manufacturing line rates.

Remote Site Monitoring Without Dedicated Infrastructure

  • e Challenge: Monitoring sprawling or multi-site cable plants typically requires dispatching specialized field engineers to each physical location just to run diagnostic sweeps.
  • The Solution: Built with an IP-addressable Ethernet interface, the tester can be polled, queried, and completely controlled from a centralized command center, enabling scalable, multi-site remote infrastructure monitoring.
