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.
