Instruments like VNA , VSA , Spec Ana

- What is VSA? Is it different from a normal spectrum analyser?

- Are there any links to detail design inside a cellular phone?

- Does anyone know a specific research area for next generation smartphones?

Thanks

now in most phones everything comes as SOC.

for research take "antennas" as multiple bands of frequency needs to be adressed its a challenge.
