NANOVNA-F V2 3 GHz Mini Vector Analyzer
The NANOVNA-F provides exceptional 3 GHz coverage and tons of functionality in a small package. It has an S21 dynamic range that’s greater than 70dB at 50kHz-1.5GHz and greater than 60dB at 1.5GHz-3GHz; the ability to function up to a continuous 7 hours due to its low-power design and 5000mAh rechargeable internal battery; sturdy metal enclosure; and easy firmware upgrades. It comes with Open-Short-Load Calibration Kit, RG405 cable, stylus, SMA adapters, and USB Type-C cable.
VNA 3 GHz Portable Vector Network Analyzer
Following up on the well-respected heels of the NANOVNA-F, the VNA 3 GHz Portable Vector Network Analyzer offers an impressive coverage range (50 kHz through 3 GHz), with an improved sweep speed of 400 points/sec—four times faster than the NANOVNA-F. It features an upgraded and optimized user interface for maximum convenience and efficiency when performing a range of measurements, plus loads of ham-friendly perks, such as its 4.3″ IPS touch screen and a 5000mA rechargeable internal battery housed in an aluminum case with SMA connectors. The unit can be used for measuring SWR, impedance, reactance, phase, delay, and Q factor of RF circuits, filters, duplexers, amplifier strip lines, cables, antennas, and many other applications. It has a dynamic range of 70dB for S21 and 50dB for S11. Displaying in linear, polar and Smith Chart plots, the CE-, FCC- and RoHS-compliant device comes with an SMA Open-Short-Load Calibration Kit, RG405 cable, stylus, SMA adapters, and USB Type-C cable.
