PicoVNA-R06 Advanced Vector Network Analyzer
2-port vector network analyzer for 300 kHz to 6.4 GHz with S11 and S21 measurements, up to 10,001 sweep points and USB-C connectivity
PicoVNA-R06 is a PC-based vector network analyzer for measurements from 300 kHz to 6.4 GHz, with specified performance up to 6 GHz. The instrument measures S11 and S21 and provides functions for amplitude, phase, group delay, VSWR, Smith charts, polar display and time-domain analysis.
PicoVNA-R06 offers selectable measurement bandwidths from 10 Hz to 140 kHz and supports up to 10,001 sweep points. Four display channels with two traces per channel allow multiple measurement results to be configured and compared simultaneously. The instrument also provides averaging, smoothing, electrical length compensation and effective dielectric constant correction.
An integrated electronic calibrator stores calibration data within the instrument and helps improve temperature stability for S11 measurements. PicoVNA-R06 also supports external E-Cal and de-embedding functions.
The instrument connects to and is powered from a PC via USB-C and has compact dimensions of 187 × 81 × 41 mm with a weight of 0.47 kg. The integrated signal source provides an output level from −20 to 0 dBm with 0.1 dB resolution.
PicoVNA-R06 is controlled using PicoVNA 5 and supports SCPI remote control. A standalone API for C, C++ and Python enables integration into automated test systems. Support is available for Windows, Linux, macOS and Raspberry Pi OS.
