NanoRFE™ VNA6000

6GHz third generation vector network analyzer, our own design.

https://nanorfe.com/vna6000.html

VNA6000 reaches the performance of high end portable VNAs up to 6GHz at a significantly lower weight (300g compared to >2.5kg of all available name brand portable VNAs), and is ideal for engineers on the go or working from home. VNA6000 can be used to characterize antennas, filters, duplexers, amplifiers, and more.

VNA6000 enables remote workers to complete most lab tasks without the logistics trouble of renting or sharing equipment, minimizing lost productivity.

You are probably aware of the components shortage situation everyone is in right now, with many small businesses struggling to survive, as well as the flood of low quality clones becoming a major issue. We'd like to thank you for choosing to support us and supporting innovation by buying the original version!

Note: beware of clones of our older designs claiming to go to 6GHz but when tested are not able to measure accurately above 1GHz! To make measurements at these higher frequencies requires the entire signal path to be redesigned with tighter constraints, and all parts must be able to handle the higher frequency, which adds significant expense. Even open source designs are not able to do it at below $300-500 BOM cost, and still have noticeable drift and repeatability problems. If you want useful and meaningful measurements, look for NanoRFE analyzers!

Features:

  • 4 inch display

  • 50kHz - 6GHz frequency range

  • Latest original hardware - each VNA produced is verified by the original designers for performance; supported by all official software and firmware updates

  • All aluminum enclosure and improved shielding

  • Can be connected to a PC for S parameters export, automatic continuous data acquisition, and more

  • Low temperature drift
  • High linearity
  • High measurement repeatability

    • 0.1dB typ

  • Low trace noise

    • 0.01dB RMS

  • High dynamic range

  • Realtime sweep - shows results as sweep progresses, more responsive than lower cost VNAs

  • Adjustable IF bandwidth, allows measuring narrowband devices

  • >4096 max sweep points (with VNA View software); more points (up to 65535) are possible depending on the performance of your PC.

  • Custom calibration kit parameters (with VNA View software)

  • S parameter export

  • Automatic continuous data export (VNA View software)

  • TDR (time domain reflectometry/distance to fault) with millimeter level resolution

  • Can display smith chart, return loss, SWR, complex impedance, series equivalent (RC/RL), group delay, and more

  • Port length extension/electrical delay

  • Enhanced response calibration - improves S21 accuracy

  • Supported by latest official firmware, with features:

    • Marker delta and marker search allows easily measuring minimums and maximums

    • Independently adjustable averaging and IF bandwidth

  • Accepts flat-top 18650 lithium-ion battery (important: not button top or protected cells), includes on-board protection and charging (note: after inserting a battery, connect USB power at least once to activate the battery management IC.)

Package includes:

  • VNA6000 main unit

  • SOLT calibration kit SMA male - Short, Open, Load (x2), Thru

  • SMA connector savers x2

  • USB cable

  • Touchscreen stylus

  • 2 x 30cm SS405 phase stable cable (if selected)
