(copied to list as it might be useful for others) Marcus,
I built the SDR-Kits VNWA v2: http://www.sdr-kits.net/. It is spec'ed to 1.3GHz, which doesn't meet your 2-3GHz spec, but I believe some users have built downconverters for use at higher frequencies, and the hardware is (marginally) useable out to 2+GHz when overclocked (can be done in software). It uses SDR techniques to greatly simplify the hardware requirements. Look for the Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VNWA/. It has proven quite accurate for me, and certainly worth the cost (around $400). Hope this helps, Nick ---------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:58:36 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: > Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] Cheap Network Analysers > > Anyone know of any reasonably-priced network analysers, up to 2 or > 3GHz?
