The Anritsu S810D Site Master is a handheld cable and antenna analyzer engineered for field installation, verification, troubleshooting, and repair of microwave communication systems. Operating from 25 MHz to 10.5 GHz (extendable to 2 MHz with optional low-frequency module), it delivers 1-port vector error-corrected measurements with corrected directivity ranging from ≥42 dB below 5 GHz to ≥32 dB above 15 GHz. The instrument combines Distance-to-Fault (DTF) capability with Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) for precise cable and component characterization.
