I second that recommendation, old style antenna analysers seem to be very expensive for what they are, and will only provide you with limited data.

I have a LiteVNA 64, which was an upgrade from an original NanoVNA, and I now tend to use it more than my previous AIM's, WVNA's and the rest. They still get used occasionally for specific tasks, but the ability to just switch it on and make a measurement, quickly recall previous sweeps and setups is fantastic. In addition, because it is so small and self-contained, you don't have to worry about the contribution of interconnecting connecting cables to any measurements, as it is effectively a "floating" instrument. Plus, you can export s1p files into other applications, such as SimSmith, which provides even greater scope for analysis.

Highly recommended, as is the TinySA Ultra. Owning the pair gives you a complete RF workshop in your pocket.
