Enhanced Port & Signal Architecture
-
Up to 4 True Test Ports: Unlike the strictly 2-port DNA5000 models, the DNA6000 series offers 2-port or 4-port options (e.g., DNA6264, DNA6144). The 4-port models are critical for fully characterizing multi-port networks, balanced filters, differential amplifiers, and mixers simultaneously.
-
Broad Frequency Spectrum: Covers a wide range from 5 kHz up to 8.5 GHz, 14 GHz, 20 GHz, or 26.5 GHz depending on the specific model.
-
Ultra-Low Trace Noise: Upgraded hardware lowers the trace noise threshold to an exceptional 0.003 dB (typical), providing maximum measurement stability for sensitive components.
-
Wide Dynamic Range: Achieves a high typical dynamic range of 127 dB (>120 dB standard), ensuring sharp accuracy when checking high-suppression/high-rejection ratio devices.
-
Frequency Resolution & Output: Operates with a sharp 1 Hz frequency resolution and outputs signal levels up to +10 dBm.
Comprehensive Measurement & Analysis Tools
-
Full S-Parameter Analysis: Measures and charts key network properties, including amplitude/frequency characteristics, phase/frequency characteristics, and group delay.
-
Integrated Analysis Tools: Out of the box, it features native support for Limit Line testing (Pass/Fail), Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), and interactive Smith Charts.
-
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): Built-in TDR tools allow for time-domain analysis to rapidly locate physical defects, impedance mismatches, and trace signal integrity along high-speed interconnects.
-
Advanced Fixture De-Embedding: Includes algorithmic Fixture Removal and De-embedding features to digitally cancel out the phase and insertion loss errors added by cables, test fixtures, and adapters, isolating the true S-parameters of the Device Under Test (DUT).
Production-Grade Calibration Ecosystem
-
Step-by-Step Calibration Wizard: An intuitive, built-in visual guide simplifies complex error-correction routines for users of all skill levels.
-
Flexible Calibration Hardware:
-
Supports high-precision, long-life mechanical calibration kits (SOLT).
-
Works seamlessly with Electronic Calibration (E-Cal) modules for fast, automated, one-button calibration that eliminates human error and saves setup time.
-
Benchtop Design & Expanded Automation Interfaces
-
Stable Benchtop Form Factor: Designed for continuous, high-intensity laboratory work and seamless mounting into automated test cabinets.
-
High-Resolution Touchscreen: Uses a modern user interface supporting smooth scrolling, tapping, and multi-touch gesture controls.
-
Production-Line Integration: Natively integrates standard SCPI command sets that are command-compatible with common alternative manufacturers, meaning existing automated testing infrastructure can adopt the DNA6000 without a complete code rewrite.
-
Expanded Interface Connectivity: Equipped with standard USB Host, USB Device, LAN, and HDMI (for projecting onto external laboratory monitors). Notably, the DNA6000 series exclusively includes a legacy GPIB interface to accommodate complex or older automated test system (ATE) setups.
