Introduction
This chapter describes some of the VNA measurements that can be made with the Field measurements view. It includes the differences between VNA measurements view and Field measurements view.
All of the vector network analyzers that are referenced in this measurement guide provide the VNA measurements view (as described throughout this document). Only the S412E LMR Master and the MS2024B, MS2025B, MS2034B, MS2035B (MS20xxB), VNA Master provide the Field measurements view that is described in this chapter.
Options
The Vector Network Analyzer instruments can be configured with VNA options: Bias Tee (Option 0010), Vector Voltmeter (Option 0015), and 6 GHz VNA Frequency Extension (Option 0016). Only the S412E LMR Master requires Option 16.
Note 
The LMR Master standard frequency range is 500 kHz to 1.6 GHz. Option 0016 extends this range to 6 GHz in VNA mode.
