Abstract
A spectrum analyzer is combined with the VNA in a housing measuring approximately 4 pounds with the spectrum analyzer portion operating from slightly above DC to above 3.0 GHz. The components for the spectrum analyzer are provided on a separate printed circuit board from the two printed circuit boards for the display and VNA components in the housing. The design of components for the printed circuit board enable a significant reduction of size from a typical spectrum analyzer which weighs 40 pounds or more and measures on the order of 2 feet by 3 feet by 0.5 feet.
