A vector network analyzer (VNA) is a device used to measure the electrical properties of RF and microwave devices and networks. It does this by sending a signal down a transmission line and measuring the reflected and transmitted signals. The VNA then uses these measurements to calculate the S-parameters of the device or network.
LiteVNA 64 is a smaller portable version of equipment that typically would sit on a bench in the electronics lab. Typically it's used for testing antennas and other RF compnents. You can find all the details at https://www.zeenko.tech/litevna

The case should be found in the Electronics Lab [FILL IN LOCATION HERE] It should contain the following:
The LiteVNA 64 should be calibrated already, but if you feel it needs to be calibrated, see the Calibration section below
