The PicoVNA series from Pico Technology includes the PicoVNA 106 and PicoVNA 108, compact USB-controlled vector network analyzers designed for both laboratory and field applications. These instruments offer a cost-effective solution for measuring S-parameters in the frequency range of 300 kHz to 6 GHz (PicoVNA 106) or 8.5 GHz (PicoVNA 108).
Despite their small size and low cost, the PicoVNAs deliver professional-grade performance. The four-receiver architecture minimizes uncorrectable errors, delays, and unreliability of internal transfer switches, ensuring accurate measurements. The analyzers can gather all four S-parameters at each frequency point in just 182 µs (PicoVNA 106) or 189 µs (PicoVNA 108), facilitating rapid data acquisition.
These instruments are suitable for a wide range of applications, including field service, installation testing, OEM integration, educational use, and test automation. Their small footprint and high performance make them ideal for both laboratory and field environments.
