About this file

This document is a purchase description specification for the MS2085A Analyzer, a highly portable 2-port handheld analyzer designed for field installation and maintenance of RF communication systems. The device features a broad frequency range of 5 kHz to 4 GHz (Option 904) or 5 kHz to 6 GHz (Option 906), weighs less than 7 lbs, and includes a rugged 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen with IK08 impact protection. Key technical capabilities include 2-port vector network analyzer (VNA) functionality combined with cable and antenna analysis (CAA), dynamic range exceeding 100 dB up to 3 GHz, sweep speed of 350 microseconds per data point with up to 10,049 data points, and support for simultaneous dual-trace viewing. The analyzer provides reflection measurements including return loss, VSWR, cable loss, Smith Chart, TDR, and distance-to-fault (DTF), with optional transmission measurements (S21) and vector voltmeter functionality.

The device features rugged Type-N female RF ports with 50 ohm impedance, multiple connectivity options including RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports, and USBTMC, and provides 5 to 6 hours of battery life (up to 9 hours with accessory battery pack). Frequency accuracy is ±2.5 ppm typical with ±1 ppm aging per year, IF bandwidth selections range from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, and the device includes built-in PDF/HTML report generation for on-site documentation. Environmental specifications meet MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 operating standards with temperature range of -10°C to 55°C and IP52 ingress protection when housed in its soft case. The corresponding solicitation (W9124B27QA001) issued by Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood requires quote submissions by November 30, 2027 at 12 pm PST.
