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 that are overclocked to advertise higher frequency operation 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, and all parts must be rated to handle the higher frequency, which adds significant BOM cost. If you want useful and meaningful measurements, look for NanoRFE analyzers!
