Benefits
Highlight
VNB-60 is a dual-port USB vector network analyzer covering 100 kHz to 6 GHz and supporting full S-parameter measurements, including S11, S12, S21, and S22. It features high-performance directional couplers with an effective directivity of ≥40 dB, a typical dynamic range of 100–120 dB, an IF bandwidth from 15 Hz to 75 kHz, and a sweep speed of up to 150 μs per point at 75 kHz IFBW. Its 50 Ω RF ports use female SMA connectors, with an output power range of −35 dBm to +5 dBm from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. Both manual and electronic calibration are supported, including use with the ECB-60 electronic calibration module and phase-stable, amplitude-stable test cables. Together with VNStudio software, it provides sweep configuration, calibration, Smith chart, VSWR and phase displays, as well as CSV and S2P data export. It is suitable for measuring the network parameters of RF components such as filters, amplifiers, cables, and antennas.
