This looks like a nice little analyzer. I have used the AD8302 and it does a decent job within its 60 dB range limitation, which should be enough for most measurements. Since it has its own oscillator, I assume the levels are permanently set to maximize dynamic range. Note that it is a one port device, however, so it can't measure DUT input vs. output parameters such as gain and phase and other parameters between input and output.

They may get another one going, but it was a lot of work and I wouldn't

recall the details.

The Italian VNA project is at http://www.qsl.net/iw3hev/Antenna%20Analyzer%201.8-60%20MHz-Eng.htm

After much internal debate, mainly because of available time, I have placed an order for a built one (shame!). I will let the group know how it performs when I get it.
