PicoVNA® 100 Series vector network analyzers

Network Metrology Demonstrator Kits

Two Network Metrology Demonstrator Kits are also offered. These include Pico’s now widely respected Standard SMA or Precision PC3.5

professional-grade test leads, a female SOLT calibration kit and an SMA non-insertable female-to-female Check Standard; both with reference

data, traceable back to national standards. Either of these kits can realise and verify the full measurement capability and accuracy of the

PicoVNA 106 or 108. High-quality, low-uncertainty measurements can then be made, suiting this training investment to much wider application

within research and doctorate projects. Accurate measurement can also establish accurate reference and error terms in the measurements that

students are making when using the PQ186 Network Metrology Training Kit.

Antenna matching with Optenni Lab CAD software

IoT, 5G, WiFi, V2X – has there ever been a bigger market explosion than the use of the

antenna, and use within very challenging locations? Optenni Lab is industry-leading RF

design automation software for antenna matching and RF chain performance optimization.

The tool addresses multi-band, broadband, multi-antenna and tunable antenna systems and

synthesizes measurement-based matching solutions in real time. In other words, Optenni Lab

outputs optimized matching circuits based on live vector network analyzer measurements

of antennas. Optenni Lab versions from 4.3 SP5 are compatible with the PicoVNA. The tool

synthesizes optimal topologies from discrete, distributed, variable or switched component

libraries against desired bandwidth and isolation targets, taking into account mutual coupling

to nearby antennas. Optenni Lab automatically outputs highly complex and normally time-

consuming designs. This CAD software interfaces the PicoVNA control DLL directly and no

further software is required.
