Siglent SNA6000A Fuses Precision, Performance and Versatility for Future Network

The rapid development of radio technologies increases the need for high-performance measurement technology. The new SNA6000A VNA series from Siglent meets these requirements with impressive specifications and numerous useful, powerful functions. The series contains a total of eight models, which are available in bandwidths of 13.5 GHz and 26.5 GHz. Both a 2-port and a 4-port model are available for each bandwidth. All models are available in both a standard version and an extended version with Direct Receiver Access (DRA).

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.

In practice, not all external influences can always be completely eliminated by calibration. It is therefore crucial to have suitable tools to eliminate interference from cables or test sockets. The SNA6000A series offers functions such as the adjustable reference plane, adapter removal and embedding/de-embedding.
