PicoVNA® 100 Series vector network analyzers

Full instrument functionality using PicoVNA 3 software

PicoVNA 3 software presents VNA measurement and calibration simply, intuitively and with efficient usage at its heart. The software offers a comprehensive range of

measurements and multiple trace, dual-axis plot formats in one, two or four user-configurable display channels. All the standard vector network analyzer functions and tabulated

measurements can be seen at a glance.

Illustrated use of display channels and Y-axes

1. Two live update parameters (S

11 and S22), plotted log magnitude (left axis) and SWR (right axis

2. One live parameter (S

21), plotted Log Magnitude at 0.5 dB/div (left axis), and 0.05 dB/div and -2.0 dB offset (right axis)

3. One live parameter (S

11), plotted Time Domain (impedance by time or distance)

4. Two live parameters (S

11 and S22), plotted as Smith Chart
