Description

USB vector network analyzer, 300 kHz to 6 GHz, Quad RX | Pico VNA 106 (PQ111)

With the (VNA) vector network analyzer PicoVNA106 you have a handy device that offers a very high accuracy at a very reasonable price . The required area is somewhat smaller than a DIN A4 page and is just 6 cm thick. The VNA fits in every briefcase.

Vector network analyzers (VNA) are increasingly used in many areas, in development, production and in the service area and increasingly because of the low investment costs in university education and in technical training. This device is used by engineers, technicians, experts, inspectors and teachers. The cost of the VNA106 compared to bench network analyzers is so low that it can also be purchased for amateurs as well as for laboratory applications by microwave experts.

With the VNAs, components such as B. amplifiers, circuits, modules and complete transmission system components from the telecommunications environment and for data transmission are examined. The measurements provide information about the linearity of components or modules and the individual frequency components of a signal can be recorded according to magnitude and phase, both on the input side and at the output of a module.

The S parameters (scattering parameters) such as S11 (input reflection), S21 (forward transmission / amplification / attenuation of the input signal), S12 (backward transmission) and S22 (output reflection factor / output adaptation) can then be obtained automatically from these measurements.

Fields of application for the Pico USB vector network analyzer:

  • Reflectometer and transmission measurements in an ATE test environment (ATE / Automatic Test Equipment)
  • Measurement of electronic parts and components and for testing ATE connections such as cables, PC boards and wireless applications
  • Material measurements such as B. for geological material, in food technology, life science, bio-science or in radar applications such. B. for the penetration of materials
  • Applications in inspection, testing, for characterizing components in production and in the service center
  • Tests of individual broadband cables or tests in the production process, during installation, when troubleshooting or to detect errors and changes over the life of a cable or a component
  • Antenna adjustment and tuning

The PicoVNA 106 is programmable and controllable via the USB interface. Despite its small size and low cost, the instrument has a four-receiver architecture "Quad RX" to avoid typical errors such as. B. Eliminate signal delays from 3-receiver designs with internal switching paths.

The PicoVNA 106 offers a dynamic range of 118 dB with a maximum noise of 0.005 dB at a maximum bandwidth of 140 kHz. All four S parameters can be determined at any frequency in just 190 µs (2-port measurement) - or put differently: 500 points in less than a tenth of a second.
