PicoVNA® 100 Series vector network analyzers

PicoVNA feature

PicoVNA 5 current release

PicoVNA 3

Features yet to be migrated and enhanced**

Limits editor and test

Not in current release. Significant enhancements

envisaged.

Yes, upto six specified test limit bands with plot

highlighted and audible fail.

Non-linear calibrations and measurements

Not in current release. Significant enhancements

envisaged.

Includes P1dB and AM-PM measurement and plot utilities

that include necessary calibrations

Save on trigger rapid characterisation

Not in current release

Included for PicoVNA 108, allows rapid multiple stepped

parameter network/device characterisations based on

hardware trigger

Offset frequency/mixer measurements

(Conversion loss, port isolation, compression)

Not in current release

Yes (for PicoVNA 108), supports fixed or tracking external

L.O. Includes direct USB remote control of tracking L.O.

signal generator E.g. PicoSource AS108.

Absolute port power calibration

Not in current release

Yes, in the context of above mixer measurements.

Includes direct control of external USB power sensors or

other port receiver

Compare data with traceable uncertainties

Not in current release. Significant enhancements

envisaged.

Includes tabular comparison utility with combined

instrument and reference uncertainties

CW sweep mode

Not in current release

Yes, allows timebased trending of a single frequency

measurement down to sub millisecond time increment

Phase meter mode

Not in current release

Yes, Phase Meter utility allows port receivers to lock to

two external signals at a known frequency. The two are

then compared for continuous measurement of their

relative phase and amplitudes

Signal generator mode

Not in current release

Yes, allows for use as a sweeping (PicoVNA 108 only) or

CW signal generator via either port.

*Actual practical limitation derives from display size and resolution and resulting plot scaling.

**These features will be developed according to user demand and priority expressed in user feedback.
