PicoVNA-R 6 GHz Portable Vector Network Analyzer And Reflectometer

Pico
PicoVNA-R 6

Product Description

The PicoVNA-R is a compact, rugged, and field-ready vector network analyzer designed to deliver laboratory-grade RF measurements wherever they are needed. Covering 300 kHz to 6 GHz, it provides accurate S11 and S21 measurements with speeds of up to 100 µs per point, allowing engineers to monitor changes in real time during tuning and troubleshooting. With ultra-low trace noise, built-in electronic calibration for reduced temperature drift, and integrated TDR/TDT time-domain analysis, the PicoVNA-R provides detailed and reliable characterization of antennas, cables, connectors, and RF components. Its IP66-rated enclosure and single USB-C connection for power and data make it highly portable and suitable for demanding field environments, while maintaining the performance required for laboratory applications.

Key Features

No Feature
1 Intuitive software for Pico VNAs, available on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, with advanced tools for RF measurement and analysis.
2 Measure S11 and S21 from 300 kHz to 6 GHz with speeds up to 100 µs per S11 point for fast, real-time RF analysis.
3 Integrated TDR/TDT helps identify impedance variations, cable faults, and discontinuities along transmission paths.
4 Create independent workspaces with separate settings, calibration, and data for quickly switching between different tests.
5 Automate repetitive measurements and integrate the PicoVNA-R with external test software using API and SCPI support.
6 Quickly calibrate the instrument using the guided wizard with E-Cal or mechanical SOLT calibration kits.
7 Achieve clean and detailed measurements with trace noise as low as 0.006 dB RMS.
8 Re-characterize the instrument in seconds to help minimize temperature-related measurement drift.
9 An IP66-rated enclosure and USB-C connectivity make the PicoVNA-R suitable for demanding field measurements.
10 PicoVNA 5 Software is included free for the lifetime of the instrument, with customizable measurement views, markers, and analysis tools.
