The Anritsu S820E Microwave Site Master is a portable handheld cable and antenna analyzer that covers a continuous frequency range starting at 1 MHz and extending up to 8, 14, 20, 30, or 40 GHz depending on the selected frequency option. Built on a true four-channel receiver design, it delivers vector network analyzer performance in a battery-powered, field-portable package, and adds optional VNA and Vector Voltmeter operating modes for users who need capabilities beyond cable-and-antenna line sweeping.
In its standard Cable and Antenna Analyzer role, the S820E performs 1-port measurements including Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, Distance-to-Fault (DTF), Phase, and Smith Chart, along with 2-port Transmission and Cable Loss measurements. Distance-to-Fault locates faults along a transmission line out to a maximum horizontal range of 1500 m (4921 ft), while Phase and Smith Chart measurements are available in Advanced Mode for more detailed impedance characterization.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Holding instruments like the S820E in-house lets our team manage availability and fulfillment directly; every pre-owned unit is handled accordingly, with used units inspected and functionally verified by our technicians while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received.

Important: Maximum input: +23 dBm, ±50 VDC (Port 1 and Port 2).
Important: The High Accuracy Power Meter mode requires an external Anritsu USB power sensor, which is sold separately (see USB Power Sensors ordering information).
Important: 2-port cable loss / transmission (external sensor) measurements require an external USB transmission sensor (e.g. SC8268) or USB power sensor, sold separately.
Important: The S820E requires one Frequency Option (0708, 0714, 0720, 0730, or 0740) to be selected; ports are Type N(f) on models up to 14 GHz and Type Ruggedized K(m) on models above 14 GHz.
