Caracteristicas
The VIA Bravo is a handheld Vector Impedance Analyzer for measuring the impedance & resonant frequencies of circuits and antennas. The Analyzer has the capability of providing accurate measurements and sweep displays of impedance, reactance, resistance, phase angle, return loss, SWR, and relative spectrum analysis. The VIA Bravo's testing functionality, combined with its 100 kHz to 200 MHz frequency range, make it a versatile tool for many service applications. The VIA Bravo is being used in areas such as MRI, wireless telemetry, 2 way radio, aviation, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).
The VIA Bravo Analyzer is available in three versions with the capability of simultaneously displaying two separate measurement graphs and the respective scales.
The versions include the standard S11 Bravo, the eXtra Fine frequency resolution S11 Bravo XF, and the full S21 network analyzer Bravo II. A Smith Chart displaying the measured circuit impedances is also available using the Bravo PC Vision software in conjunction with a PC.
The Bravo PC Vision Software application, included with the VIA Bravo!, provides the user with the capability of remotely operating the VIA Bravo through a serial port connection while viewing Real-Time results on a P.C. The software makes the capture, storage, and printing of documentation and reports easy.
The VIA Bravo has proven to save time, improve on reliability and quality, and reduce service wait time.

The Via Bravo! analyzer measures complex impedances of electrical components, antennae, and cables. The results of the measurements are displayed graphically, with some numeric detail. You can choose to display the impedance from among several formats. The VIA Bravo! sweeps across a range of frequencies, or operates at CW, either way the display is continuously updated with new measurement results. This unit has many applications, including:
1. Tune antennae and feed systems
2. Measure Z, Angle, Resistance, and/or Reactance of a load
3. Measure the length of a piece of coax
4. Portable and economic replacement for network analyzer applications that measure S11.
5. Find resonant frequency
6. CW signal generator
Two plots may be simultaneously viewed on the same graph. The VIA Bravo! connects to your PC with the VIA Director Software to view results on a multi color, large screen display in a Smith Chart or X-Y plot format.
The Z altering effects of coax cable can be nulled out, so that the load at the end of the coax is displayed. The VIA Bravo! operates over a wide range of characteristic impedances, so you are not limited to measuring 50 ohm systems.
The VIA Bravo! periodically self calibrates during operation. The VIA Bravo! determines when recalibration is required and displays the marquee screen with a “CALIBRATING” message during the calibration. The unit begins measurements after a few seconds.
Operator conveniences include: non volatile storage, auditory cues, back lit display, battery saver options, display contrast adjustment, versatile output displays, and serial port communications. Internal Batteries (8 AA batteries, not included) power the VIA Bravo! in situations where wall power is not available.
Included accessories are the VIA Director MRI Software, a power pack, a serial port cable, and a soft case with shoulder strap.
