Core RF Performance
-
Broad Frequency Spectrum: Covers an expansive range starting from 5 kHz up to 26.5 GHz (with 4.5 GHz, 8.5 GHz, 14 GHz, 20 GHz, and 26.5 GHz models available).
-
High Dynamic Range: Delivers a wide typical dynamic range of 127 dB (greater than 120 dB standard), ensuring clear, stable characterization when evaluating high-suppression devices like sharp filters.
-
Low Trace Noise: Achieves an excellent trace noise threshold of 0.005 dBrms, providing flat, highly repeatable measurement stability.
-
Resolution & Signal Control: Features an sharp 1 Hz frequency resolution, adjustable Intermediate Frequency (IF) bandwidths from 1 Hz up to 10 MHz, and maximum output power up to +10 dBm.
Advanced Built-In Analysis Suite
-
Full Network Characterization: Natively handles transmission and reflection profiling, displaying results across diverse formats including Log/Linear Magnitude, Phase, Group Delay, VSWR, and Polar Charts.
-
Impedance Matching & Reflection: Integrates interactive Smith Charts for straightforward impedance tuning alongside an optional Distance-to-Fault (DTF) mode to easily spot physical defects or impedance jumps down RF lines.
-
Time Domain Analysis: Built-in support for Time Domain Analysis (TDA) and Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to evaluate signal integrity and interconnect path behavior.
-
True DUT Extraction (De-embedding): Includes advanced fixture removal and embedding/de-embedding algorithms to digitally strip out the error contributions of test leads, fixtures, and adapters, isolating the true S-parameters of the Device Under Test (DUT).
Error Correction & Calibration
-
Comprehensive Routines: Supports diverse traditional calibration schemes including SOLT (Short-Open-Load-Thru), OSL, Response Short, Response Open, and Enhanced Response layouts.
-
Cal Wizard & ECal Support: Features an intuitive step-by-step Calibration Wizard. It works seamlessly with high-precision mechanical calibration kits as well as fully automated Electronic Calibration (ECal) modules for fast, one-touch, error-free setups.
Form Factor & Ergonomics
-
Ultra-Thin Portable Profile: Radically downsized compared to traditional bench VNAs, featuring a narrow depth of just 121.4 mm and a remarkably light weight of 5.3 kg, making it ideal for sharing between benches or deploying in the field.
-
10.1-inch HD Touch Interface: Utilizes a responsive, capacitive 1280×800 touchscreen display that supports modern swipe and gesture controls. Users can fully set parameters and view charts standalone without requiring a PC link.
-
Connectivity & Remote Access: Outfitted with USB Host, USB Device, LAN, and HDMI outputs (for mirroring onto larger lab displays). Fully supports Web Control operation via standard web browsers and automated macro test script execution over standard SCPI instruction sets.
