Rigol Unveils the New DNA5000/6000 Series Vector Network Analyzers




Rigol Technologies announced the official release of its new DNA5000/6000 Series Vector Network Analyzers (VNA). By combining dependable RF performance with unprecedented ease of use, the new series is designed to bring professional-grade network analysis to every engineer’s workbench.

Reliable Performance — Ready for Core RF Testing

Introducing accessible test tools should never mean compromising performance. The DNA5000/6000 Series delivers solid core RF specifications that make it well-suited for most R&D and diagnostic tasks right on the bench.

  • A wide frequency range from 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz, with both 2-port and 4-port options, accurately covers testing needs from basic passive components (such as filters, antennas, and cables) to dielectric material characterization and high-speed interconnects.
  • With a dynamic range greater than 120 dB and very low trace noise, the series ensures accurate characterization of high-rejection devices and stable measurement results.
  • Fixture removal and de-embedding features let users strip away the effects of test fixtures, adapters, and cables, yielding precise S-parameter measurements of the device under test (DUT) itself.
  • Built-in application tools such as limit testing (Pass/Fail), SWR measurement, Smith chart display, and Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) support both development verification and production quality control with high efficiency.

Intuitive and Accessible — Designed for Every Engineer

To bring VNA capability to every bench, lowering the usage barrier was paramount. The DNA5000/6000 Series introduces revolutionary interactive design that makes advanced vector network analysis easier than ever.

  • The integrated calibration wizard guides users step by step through setup, allowing both beginners and experienced engineers to calibrate quickly and accurately for reliable measurement results.
    A modern, high-resolution touchscreen supports smooth touch, drag, and gesture interactions to enhance workflow efficiency.
  • Support for standard SCPI commands, compatible with mainstream vendor command sets, enables seamless integration into existing test systems without rewriting automation scripts, preserving familiar workflows.
  • A comprehensive set of connectivity options — including HDMI, LAN, USB, and GPIB (DNA6000 only) — facilitates external displays, remote control, and easy integration into automated test environments.

Complete Ecosystem — One-Stop Reliable Testing

RIGOL provides not just an instrument, but a complete RF test solution ecosystem, enabling engineers to fully equip their setups for reliable testing.

  • High-precision mechanical calibration kits cover different frequency bands and connector types with durable, traceable standards that ensure high repeatability.
  • Electronic calibration (ECal) modules deliver one-connection, fully automated calibration, significantly reducing setup time and minimizing human error — ideal for environments focused on efficiency and consistency.
  • Lab-grade RF cables with ultra-low insertion loss and excellent phase stability ensure signal integrity even in demanding test conditions.
