Siglent SNA6134A 100kHz – 26.5GHz Vector Network Analyser

Description

Siglent SNA6134A 100kHz – 26.5GHz Vector Network Analyser

The SIGLENT SNA6000A Series Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) are versatile tools designed for high-performance RF testing and analysis. With frequency ranges of 100 kHz to 13.5 GHz and 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz, these VNAs offer 2/4-port scattering, differential-parameter, and time-domain parameter measurements, making them ideal for a wide variety of R&D and manufacturing applications.

The SNA6000A series excels in measuring Q-factor, bandwidth, and insertion loss of filters, while also offering features such as impedance conversion, fixture simulation, limit testing, and ripple tests. Its five sweep modes—Linear-Frequency, Log-Frequency, Power-Sweep, CW-Time, and Segment-Sweep—provide users with flexible measurement options.

Key features include:
– Frequency range: 100 kHz to 13.5 GHz
– Frequency resolution: 1 Hz; Level resolution: 0.05 dB
– Dynamic range: 135 dB
– Multiple calibration types: SOLT, SOLR, TRL, and Enhanced Response
– Built-in Bias-Tee connections and material measurement capabilities
– Remote control via SCPI, Labview, IVI, and WebServer
– 12.1-inch touch screen with HDMI/DVI-D/DP video output

The SNA6000A series delivers precision and flexibility for tasks ranging from scattering-parameter analysis to time-domain testing, enhancing performance in RF circuit design and production environments.

High dynamics enable more precise and reliable measurements, which is of great importance in research, development and production. The SNA6000A impresses with a dynamic range of over 135 dB, which makes it ideal for the detailed analysis of weak signals, even when they occur alongside stronger signals. This makes the analyzer ideal for measuring filters with low insertion loss and high stopband attenuation. In addition, high dynamics help to minimize signal distortion, which improves signal integrity. It also increases calibration accuracy, especially in scenarios where external influences such as cables or adapters must be minimized.

Calibrating network analyzers is critical for high accuracy measurements. The SNA family supports a broad range of mechanical and electronic calibration kits with the frequency up to 26.5 GHz for both general purpose and precision-level requirements and offers advanced calibration methods to enhance ease-of-use while providing best-in-class accuracy. SIGLENT protects your investment by supporting the import of calibration kits from other manufacturers and customer-defined calibration kits.

The integration of a spectrum analysis function into a vector network analyzer (VNA) opens up expanded possibilities, especially in the development and testing of high-frequency amplifiers, oscillators and communication systems. This extension is also available as an option namely SNA6000-SA. It allows precise analysis of harmonics, intermodulation products and other nonlinear effects, while simultaneously optimizing signal quality and bandwidth utilization in communication applications. The combination of VNA and spectrum analysis in one device not only offers space and cost-saving advantages, but also enables deeper and more comprehensive signal characterization.

The SNA6000A can also be extended to include the ability to perform pulsed measurements, which is particularly advantageous when characterizing high-frequency components under real operating conditions, such as in radar and communication systems. This measurement method makes it possible to analyze the behavior of components with short pulses, precisely evaluate fast switching operations and optimize performance in time-critical applications.

SSM single unit can expand the output ports to 24 and can be easily integrated, greatly adapt to the automatic test system and production line scenarios. The multi-port measurement capability of VNA can improve test throughput and thereby significantly reduce device test costs. Typical applications include design, verification and production of antenna, data converter interfaces, automatic test of RF components and other devices, etc.

To be able to perform time domain analysis the options SNA6000-TDA and SNA6000-TDR are available. The Time Domain Reflectometry functions extend the VNA to include the ability to comprehensively diagnose and characterize signal paths, lines and cables. In addition, eye diagrams can be created, which are crucial for evaluating signal integrity in digital communications. The combination of TDR and VNA also enables the analysis of jitter, which is essential for investigating the temporal stability of signals. Both functions are of particular interest in high-speed digital development.
