PicoVNA Series VNA/Vector Network Analyzers up to 6 or 8.5 GHz

Models PicoVNA-106 (PQ111), PicoVNA-108 (PQ112)

Making vector network analysis accessible. The PicoVNA-106 and PicoVNA-108 from the Pico-VNA Series are professional USB-controlled, laboratory grade vector network instruments of unprecedented performance, portability and affordability. Despite their small size and low cost, the instruments boast a "Quad-RX" four-receiver architecture to eliminate the uncorrectable errors, delays and fragility of three-receiver designs with internal transfer switches. The devices offer exceptional dynamic ranges of 124 dB (PicoVNA-108) or 118 dB (PicoVNA-108) and only 0.005 dB RMS trace noise at its maximum operating bandwidth of 140 kHz. The cost is so low that the devices could even be used as cost-effective high-dynamic-range scalar network analyzers! They are affordable in the classroom, small business and even amateur workshop, yet capable in the microwave expert's laboratory.
