Thinkstar SAA-2N V2.2 Analyser

The Thinkstar SAA-2N V2.2 is a portable vector network analyser covering 50 kHz to 3 GHz. It measures S-parameters such as return loss, insertion loss and phase for antennas, filters, duplexers and cables. A 4.0 inch touch screen displays Smith charts and numeric data for field engineers and radio amateurs who need a compact measurement tool.

Installation and Common Issues

The device does not load initial calibration data at startup and does not automatically interpolate after a frequency change. Users must perform a full calibration or recall saved calibration data after every power-on and after any frequency adjustment. Skipping this step leads to inaccurate S11 and S21 readings and can cause the operator to misinterpret antenna performance.

Sustained Measurement Behaviour

Transmission measurement dynamic range reaches 70 dB up to 1.5 GHz and 60 dB from 1.5 GHz to 3 GHz. Reflection measurement dynamic range is -50 dB up to 1.5 GHz and -40 dB above that. The analyser maintains a voltage standing wave ratio of 1.005 below 1.5 GHz and 1.02 up to 3 GHz during continuous sweeps, indicating stable directivity for extended test sessions.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SAA-2N V2.2 is measuring correctly after calibration?

After startup or any frequency change, recalibrate or recall saved calibration data, then verify S11 reflection reads -50 dB at 1.5 GHz and S21 transmission reads 70 dB at the same point.

What accessories come with the SAA-2N V2.2 and what must I source separately?

The kit includes a carry bag and a test board; cables, adapters and any calibration standards beyond the test board are not included.

Which SAA-2N version should I choose for best accuracy up to 3 GHz?

The V2.2 model provides S11 reflection of -40 dB and S21 transmission of 60 dB between 1.5 GHz and 3 GHz, with a 4.0 inch touch screen for data display.
