Key Features
13.5 GHz and 26.5 GHz VNA Families
Choose 13.5 GHz or 26.5 GHz bandwidth depending on RF component, microwave filter, antenna, connector, cable, amplifier and production-test requirements.
2-port and 4-port Models
2-port models fit standard S-parameter work, while 4-port models support multiport DUTs and include a second source for more advanced measurement workflows.
135 dB Dynamic Range
High dynamic range supports accurate low-loss passband and high-rejection stopband measurements for filters, duplexers, cables and microwave components.
DRA Extended Variants
SNA61xxA models add Direct Receiver Access with source, reference and measurement jumpers for advanced receiver-access and external test-set configurations.
Standard Bias-Tee and Pulse Hardware
Bias-tee connection and pulse hardware support active-device setups such as amplifiers, mixers and pulsed-RF characterization when the required measurement options are configured.
Remote Automation Ready
LAN, USB Device and USB Host interfaces support automated RF test benches using SCPI, VXI-11, socket, Telnet, WebServer, LabVIEW and IVI workflows.

Applications
Filters, Duplexers and Connectors
Measure insertion loss, return loss, stopband rejection, phase and group-delay behavior up to 13.5 or 26.5 GHz.
K-band Component Characterization
26.5 GHz models support K-band passive-component and microwave interconnect characterization.
Amplifier and Mixer Measurement
Bias-tee, pulse hardware, swept power and spectrum-analysis options support active-device characterization workflows.
4-port Network Testing
4-port models reduce reconnection effort for couplers, differential devices, antenna systems and multiport RF modules.
Time-domain and TDR Workflows
Configured time-domain workflows help locate discontinuities, cable faults and interconnect issues in RF and high-speed digital paths.
Automated RF Test
LAN/USB remote control and SSM switch-matrix integration support higher-throughput RF production and validation benches.
