The SVA series instrument spectrum & vector network analyzers are powerful and flexible tools for broadcast and RF device / system testing. With a wide frequency range covering 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz, the analyzer delivers reliable automatic measurements and plenty of features including a tracking generator and multiple modes of operation. This review is organized as follows:

00:09 - Introduction and instrument overview
02:25 - Complete teardown and detailed analysis of the instrument hardware
23:36 - Basic instrument GUI operation and overload detection limitations
28:38 - Tracking generator signal purity and performance
30:06 - Instrument internal phase noise performance
33:01 - VNA operation and amplifier impedance tuning experiment
39:28 - Amplifier characterization using built-in functions
44:20 - Digital demodulation experiments
49:30 - Distance to fault experiments using built-in functions
49:16 - Concluding remarks
