The PicoVNA-R brings vector network analysis out of the lab. Covering 300 kHz to 6 GHz, it measures both magnitude and phase for S11 at under 100 µs per point fast enough to see the effect of an adjustment as you make it and S21 transmission measurements.
Its on-board electronic calibrator lets you re-characterize the instrument in seconds, correcting for the temperature drift that accumulates as environmental conditions change around you.
An IP66-rated case makes the device field-ready, and a single USB-C cable carries both power and data.

Product Features
High Precision, Small Form Factor

A compact single-board design providing vector measurement of both magnitude and phase, in an instrument small enough to take to the device under test.
Industry Leading Temperature Stability
A unique on-board electronic calibrator lets you re-characterize the instrument in seconds, removing the temperature drift from fluctuating field environments.
Fast Measurements
Achieve S11 measurement speeds of 100 µs per point, delivering real-time responses as you tune, tweak and troubleshoot.
Ultra-Low Noise
Experience exceptionally clean data with trace noise as low as 0.006 dB RMS at maximum bandwidth.
Time Domain Analysis
Built-in time domain reflectometry and transmission (TDR/TDT) for locating and characterizing discontinuities along a transmission path.
Field Ready

An IP66-rated case seals out dust and water, and with a compact footprint and USB-C power and data over a single cable, there’s no mains supply to manage. All that’s needed is a laptop and a PicoVNA-R, ready to go wherever the measurement is: the antenna, the cable run or the test cabinet.
