TAPR has a nice VNA project going, www.tapr.org... it was featured in a 
July/August QEX. They are also going to offer it assembled I think thru 
Ten-Tec. It does a lot more than an antenna analyzer to boot, but 
requires a computer so is not portable. It does all the complex 
impedance measurements, but since it has its own DDS signal source, it 
can also display gain/loss type measurements, differential phase and 
gain error, etc.
