Siglent launched a new SNA5000X-E Vector Network Analyser series, which is now available from Telonic Instruments. Designed to deliver essential RF measurement without compromising performance, the SNA5000X-E is the ideal solution for engineers working in research and development, education and production.
The SNA5000X-E series provides frequency coverage from 9kHz to 6.5GHz, and delivers a typical dynamic range of 125dB, ensuring accurate and stable measurements across a wide range of RF applications. Positioned as a cost-effective, entry-level model within the SNA5000 family, it retains the core performance architecture of higher-end models while making advanced vector network analysis more accessible.
Engineers benefit from high-resolution measurements with 1Hz frequency resolution, adjustable IF bandwidth from 1Hz to 10MHz, and an output power range from –40dBm to +10dBm. These capabilities ensure precise characterisation of RF components even in complex test scenarios.
The SNA5000X-E supports comprehensive S-parameter measurements, differential analysis, and integrated time-domain functionality. Enhanced time-domain analysis and spectrum analysis features allow users to evaluate impedance discontinuities and quickly identify faults within devices under test. A built-in eye diagram function further enhances signal integrity analysis for high-speed applications.
To address common measurement challenges, the instrument includes advanced correction tools such as automatic fixture removal, port extension, de-embedding, and impedance conversion. These features minimise systematic errors caused by cables and fixtures, ensuring high confidence in test results.
There are two models available now, the SNA5003X-E covering 9kHz to 3GHz, and the SNA5006X-E covering 9kHz to 6.5GHz. In addition to providing these VNAs, Telonic Instruments also provides calibration and technical support in the UK.
