PicoVNA 106 6 GHz vector network analyzer Professional and portable performance at low cost 300 kHz to 6 GHz operation High speed of > 5000 dual port S-parameters per second Quad RX four-receiver architecture for best accuracy 118 dB dynamic range at 10 Hz bandwidth 0.005 dB RMS trace noise at maximum bandwidth of 140 kHz Half-rack, small-footprint, lightweight package PC-controlled over USB from a Microsoft Windows interface Reference plane offsetting and de-embedding Time domain and port impedance transformations Tabular and graphic print and save formats, including Touchstone P1dB, AM to PM, and stand-alone signal generator utilities Fully accessible, guided 8 and 12-term calibration processes 6 calibration modes, including unknown thru and connected DUT isolation www.picotech.comVector network analysis for the many Once the domain of an elite few, microwave measurement has encroached into the lives of scientists, educators, surveyors, inspectors, engineers and technicians alike. Todays microwave measurements need to be straightforward, portable, accurate, cost-effective and easy to learn. The PicoVNA 106 is an all new, UK-designed, professional USB-controlled, laboratory grade vector network instrument of unprecedented performance, portability and value for money. Despite its simple outline, small footprint and low cost, the instrument boasts a four-receiver architecture to minimize the uncorrectable errors, delays and unreliability of internal transfer switches. Despite its small size, the PicoVNA 106 delivers an exceptional dynamic range of 118 dB at 10 Hz and only 0.005 dB RMS trace noise at its maximum operating bandwidth of 140kHz. It can also gather all four S-parameters at every frequency point in just 190 s in other words, a 500 point 2-port .s2p Touchstone file in less than a tenth of a second. Its low price means that the PicoVNA 106 would be cost-effective as a deep dynamic range scalar network analyzer or a single-port vector reflectometer. However, despite its size and price, the PicoVNA 106 really is a full-function dual-port, dual-path vector network analyzer. Its affordable in the classroom, in small businesses and even in amateur workshops, yet capable of meeting the needs of all users up to the microwave laboratory technician and expert. Vector network analysis everywhere The PicoVNAs small size, weight and cost, and high performance suit it to field service, installation test, embedded and classroom applications. With its remote automation capability, its also attractive in applications such as: Test automation Manufacturers needing to integrate a reflectometry or transmission measurement core Inspection, test, characterization and calibration in the manufacture, distribution and service center industries Electronics component, assembly and system, and interface/interconnect ATE (cable, PCB and wireless) Material, geological, life science and food sciences tissue imaging penetrating scan and radar Broadband cable and harness test at manufacture, installation and fault-over-life monitoring Antenna matching and tuning PicoVNA 106 vector network analyzer
