tautech:
VNA capability mirroring the SVA range was added as standard to the SSA3000X-R range 3 firmware releases ago in V3.2.2.3.2.

Currently SVA1000X, SSA3000X Plus and SSA3000X-R all share the same user manual as apart from the serctions on RTSA and VNA their operation is identical.

And yes the factory SSA3000X-R website needs updating/revising. :palm:

RBBVNL9:
Thanks, Tautech!

But can you also answer my second question?

Thanks!

--- Quote from: RBBVNL9 on February 28, 2021, 08:36:19 pm ---A device that meets the E02A should have VNA (including s11 and s21) as a standard, according to the datasheet. I understand that CSVW is closely related to s11. But would I need additional hardware or software to perform VSWR, Return Loss, and Reflection Coefficient measurements?

No, none whatsoever when using VNA mode.

The TG output has the VNA coupling bridge already built in for all models and the signal path to use it is enabled in VNA mode.

To see what X-R can do wrt antenna characterization/measurements check this thread using my SVA's, first a SVA1015X and later a SVA1032X that I still have for my RF use and demo work:

Thanks Tautech for those updates.

Mmm. Despite this manual has "E02A" in its file name, it says both for the "Vector Network Analyzer Mode" and the "Distance-To-Fault Mode" that these are "only available on SVA1000X series.". Am I missing something? They should be available as well for the SSA3000X-R, right?!?

I see you write "in the VNA mode'. Just to be sure: does this VNA mode do the VSWR, Return Loss, and Reflection Coefficient measurements as mentioned in the datasheet (there they are not listed under VNA but under Reflection)? Do you get a screen like the shown screenshot?


And just to be sure: do I understand properly the fact that the reflection bridge is listed accessory in datasheet E02A is an error?

Sorry I keep on asking, but before committing to any purchase, I'd like to be sure what's included, and what is optional...
