The MS2036C VNA Master offers a best-in-class combination of a 2-port, 2-path handheld Vector Network Analyzer and a powerful 9 GHz spectrum analyzer. Designed specifically for RF field engineers, this compact analyzer is the industry’s most versatile solution for S-parameter measurements, distance-to-fault testing, and signal diagnostics in aerospace, defense, and commercial communication systems.

With 5 kHz to 6 GHz VNA capability and 9 kHz to 9 GHz spectrum analysis, this instrument supports applications from cable testing to radome material analysis, filter tuning, and EM interference diagnostics. Featuring 12-term error correction and real-time 4-S-parameter display, it delivers bench-grade accuracy with unmatched portability.

On the spectrum side, features like Burst Detect™, up to 10 MHz RBW, and support for modulation demodulation (AM/FM/SSB) simplify troubleshooting and monitoring tasks. With Option 0431, engineers can conduct RF coverage mapping using internal GPS, while Option 0025 enables advanced interference hunting—especially when paired with the MA2700A InterferenceHunter™ for GPS-based triangulation.

This all-in-one tool is widely used for military systems, VOR antenna checks, aircraft/shipboard wiring diagnostics, and 5G network field testing. Its ruggedness and intuitive interface make it the go-to analyzer for critical field deployments.

  1. Dual Functionality – Combines a full-featured 2-port VNA and a wide-range spectrum analyzer in one compact device.

  2. VNA Coverage – 5 kHz to 6 GHz with 2-port, 2-path architecture and vector-corrected Distance-To-Fault.
