VNA 108 | Demonstrator USB Vector Network Analyzer, 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz, Quad RX (PQ112) (PICO1064_2408_V)

With the (VNA) vector network analyzer Pico VNA108 you have a handy device that offers very high accuracy at a very affordable price. The required surface area is slightly smaller than a DIN A4 page and is just 6 cm thick. This means the VNA fits in any briefcase.

Vector network analyzers (VNA) are increasingly being used in many areas, in development, production and in the service sector, and more and more in university education and technical training due to the low investment costs. This device is used by engineers, technicians, experts, inspectors and teachers. The cost of the VNA108 compared to bench network analyzers is so low that it can also be purchased by amateurs as well as for laboratory applications by microwave experts.

The VNAs can be used to examine components such as amplifiers, circuits, modules and complete transmission system components from the telecommunications environment and for data transmission. 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 matching)

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. e.g. for geological material, in food technology, life sciences, bio-sciences or radar applications, e.g. for the penetration of materials
  • applications in inspection, testing, for the characterization of components in production and in the service centre
  • tests of individual broadband cables or tests in the production process, during installation, during troubleshooting or to detect faults and changes over the lifetime of a cable or component
  • Antenna adjustment and tuning

The PicoVNA 108 is programmable and controllable via the USB interface. Despite its small size and low cost, the instrument features a four-receiver architecture "Quad RX" to eliminate typical errors such as signal delays of 3-receiver designs with internal switching paths.

The PicoVNA 108 offers a dynamic range of 124 dB (at 10 Hz) with a maximum noise of 0.005 dB at the maximum bandwidth of 140 kHz. All four S-parameters can also be determined at any frequency in just 190 µs (2-port measurement) - or in other words: 500 points in less than a tenth of a second.
