Portable four-port network analysers extend handheld RF analysis solutions

Saelig Company, Inc. has released the Siglent SNA6000A Vector Network Analyzers series, with a frequency range of 100kHz to 13.5GHz and 100kHz to 26.5GHz to support two or four-port scattering parameters, differential parameters, and time domain measurements. The series of VNAs are useful for determining the Q-factor, bandwidth, and insertion loss of filters. They can handle impedance conversion, movement of measurement plane, limit testing, ripple test, fixture simulation, and adapter removal/insertion adjustments. These VNAs have five sweep types: linear-frequency mode, log-frequency mode, power-sweep mode, CW-Time mode, and Segment-Sweep mode. The series VNAs also support scattering-parameter correction of SOLT, SOLR, TRL, Response, and Enhanced Response for increased flexibility in R&D and manufacturing applications. Output level setting range is -55dBm to +10dBm with a resolution of 0.05dB. The frequency resolution is 1Hz.

The series adds full four-port 26.5 GHz capability to Siglent’s RF portfolio, with a notable improvement in dynamic range over the previous SNA5000A. Types of calibration include response, enhanced, full-one port, full-two port, full-three port, full-four port, and TRL calibration. Types of measurement include Scattering parameter measurement, differential parameter measurement, receiver measurement, time-domain parameter analysis, limit test, ripple test, impedance conversion, fixture simulation, adapter removal/insertion, spectrum analysis frequency offset, scalar mixer measurement, pulse measurement, etc. Remote control is possible via SCPI/ Labview/ IVI based on USB-TMC / VXI-11 / Socket /Telnet /WebServer. The 12.1” touchscreen can be viewed via HDMI/DVI-D/D to a larger display.

When combined with Siglent’s SSG6000A 40GHz Generator and its Switch Matrix Port Extension, the high-performance RF portfolio delivers test solutions to a wide range of applications.
