VIA ECHO Datasheet HTML

Introducing the New

VIA Echo Vector Impedance Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer

and FDR

The Echo is a handheld vector impedance and spectrum analyzer with FDR for

measuring antennas, networks and cables. The Echo has the capability of providing

digital measurements and graphical sweep displays of impedance, RF power gain or

cable quality. The Echo's testing functionality combined with its 100 KHz to 1.0 GHz

or 100 KHz to 2.5 GHz frequency ranges makes it a versatile tool for numerous

service applications including :

SWR,

Return Loss (dB)

Phase Angle

Reactance

Resistance

Gamma Magnitude

Gamma Angle

Linear Gain

Phase Gain

Spectrum Analysis

Frequency Domain Reflectometer

The Echo PC Vision ^TM software application, included with the VIA Echo, provides the

user with the capability of remotely operating the VIA Echo through a USB port while

viewing real time results or stored data on a PC. PC Vision provides color Cartesian

and Smith Charts of vector plot data. The PC Vision software makes the capture,

storage and printing of documentation and reports easy. (Available in Aug. 2006)
