Summary of SIGLENT 2- AND 4-PORT 4.5/8.5GHZ VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZERS
The Siglent SNA5000A series introduces 2- and 4-port Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) designed for characterizing passive and active RF devices. These instruments cover a frequency range from 9kHz to 8.5GHz with high resolution and dynamic range. They support diverse measurement types including scattering parameters, time-domain analysis, and Q-factor testing. The units feature a large touch-screen interface, multiple sweep modes, extensive calibration options, and HDMI output capabilities for enhanced visualization.
Parts used in the Siglent SNA5000A Series:
- Signal stimulus source output
- Receiver inputs
- 12.1 inch touch-screen display
- HDMI output port
- Bias-tees support
- Front-panel controls
- Multi-window display mode
- Memory comparison function
- Impedance conversion tool
- Calibration kits (Response, Full-one/two/three/four port, TRL)
The SNA5000A VNAs bring a wide range of RF analysis capabilities for characterizing real-world passive devices, filters, and active devices with transmission and reflection measurements such as gain, insertion loss/ phase, electrical length/delay and group delay.
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the Siglent SNA5000A series of 2- and 4-port Vector Network Analyzers, which offer a frequency analysis range of 9kHz up to 8.5GHz with a resolution of 1Hz, a dynamic range of 125dB, and a level resolution of 0.05dB. The Siglent SNA5000A series consists of four models (2- or 4-port, 4.5GHz or 8.5GHz maximum frequency) that support measurements such as scattering, differential, and time-domain parameters, Q-factor, and filter bandwidth and insertion loss.
Vector Network Analyzers combine a signal stimulus source output and receiver inputs to measure changes to the stimulus caused by a device being tested. SNA5000A VNAs feature measurements that include impedance conversion, movement of measurement plane, limit testing, ripple test, fixture simulation, and adapter removal/insertion adjustments. Bias-tees are also supported.
The SNA5000A VNA analyzers provide five types of frequency sweep: Linear-Frequency, Log-Frequency, Power-Sweep, CW-Time, and Segment-Sweep. Operation is simplified with the VNA’s large 12.1” touch-screen display, which operates in addition to traditional front-panel controls. An HDMI output is also provided so that an even larger display or projector may be used. Many useful display modes may be selected, such as: multi-window, multi-format, display hold, memory comparison, and impedance conversion. Calibration choices include: Response calibration, Enhanced Response calibration, Full-one port calibration, Full-two port calibration, Full-three port calibration, Full-four port calibration, and TRL calibration.
