Vector network analyzers

General information

Network Analyzers (Electrical Network Analyzers) designed to evaluate the impedance or leakage and reflection characteristics of active and passive circuits such as amplifiers, frequency converters, antenna switches, filters, switching devices, attenuators and many other components used in various circuits.

Vector network analyzers (VNA) are the most powerful in their group, as they measure and display the full set of amplitude and phase characteristics of the device. These parameters include: S-parameters, transfer functions, amplitude and phase, standing wave ratio (SWR), insertion loss or gain, attenuation, group delay, return loss, or reflection coefficient. Modern vector analyzers usually allow measurements in the frequency range from 5 kHz to 40 GHz, some models provide an upper range of 70 GHz, and with additional modules the upper range can be extended to 110 GHz and beyond (upper limit 1 100 GHz).

Comparison table

This page details most of the modern vector network analyzer series. Each series has a short description and a photo. The table below shows the same network analyzers, but not by series, but by model. At the same time, for each model, the main technical characteristics are indicated (maximum and minimum frequency, number of ports, dynamic range, and others).

All models of electrical circuit analyzers sorted in the table as they increase maximum frequency. If the maximum frequency is the same, then the cheaper devices are placed first.

If a feature can be improved with options, then the improved value is given in brackets eg: for the Anritsu MS4642B analyzer, the default value for the minimum (lower) frequency is 10 MHz, but with an additional option, this can be improved to 70 kHz. Therefore, in the table, the value of the lower frequency for Anritsu MS4642B is indicated as: 10 MHz (70 kHz).

Notes:

¹ Dynamic Range - indicates the best guaranteed value that the device can provide with the optimal combination of settings. In reality, a typical (not guaranteed) dynamic range value may be better than the one shown in the table.

² Speed per point - the minimum measurement time at one frequency value is indicated. The total measurement time depends on the selected number of points from which the measurement graph is built and the set IF Bandwidth value.

Discontinued models

Manufacturers of measuring equipment regularly develop and launch new models of vector and scalar electrical circuit analyzers with enhanced capabilities and improved performance. After some time, after the start of sales of new models, old models and series out of production. A complete list of discontinued network analyzers, with suggested replacements, can be found here: network analyzers discontinued.

Basic theory for analyzing the parameters of electrical circuits

The analysis of the parameters of electrical circuits is a complex, highly qualified work that requires good theoretical training and practical experience. At the same time, network analyzers themselves belong to the category of very expensive devices, which must be handled carefully and competently.

Here are collected the main documents on the theory of electrical circuit analysis, which will help you understand this issue and improve your professional level. For complex and incomprehensible moments, write to us by E-mail or call - we will be happy to advise.

Help in choosing equipment

Choose and buy inexpensive and high quality vector or scalar network analyzer is not always easy. When choosing a model, in addition to the standard parameters: frequency range, number of ports and measurement accuracy, it is necessary to take into account additional characteristics and capabilities of the analyzer: dynamic range, measurement rate, resolution, source power, directivity parameters, source matching and load matching, calibration modes, programming capability and convenience, built-in digital interfaces, a set of additional functions, operating range temperatures, the quality and durability of the device, the reputation of the manufacturer, the professionalism and reliability of the supplier, the availability of after-sales service, the warranty period, and much more.

In addition, you may need technical advice on additional accessories: calibration elements, phase-stable cables, waveguides, transition adapters, etc.
