Siglent SNA5000X-E Vector Network Analyzers

New Accessories for Siglent VNAs

Broaden the possibilities for your analysors SEM5000A series electronic calibration (ECal) modules, SSU5000A series mechanical switch and SSM5000A series switch matrix, which are designed and optimized for use with the SHA850A, SVA1000X, SNA5000 and SNA6000A series vector network analyzers from SIGLENT. They offer a comprehensive, cost-effective total solution for simple to complex RF measurement tasks on multiport and multiple devices.

New feature - multiport test across the SNA family

Switch matrix control is the standard function starting with FW version V1.0.0.2.12

With the cost-effective multi-port expansion design concept, SIGLENT provides flexible and simple operation, calibration and configuration. SSM single unit can expand the output ports to 24 and can be easily integrated, greatly adapt to the automatic test system and production line scenarios. Whether differential devices, highly integrated multi-port devices or multiple single-port devices are measured, it can provide different multi-port test solutions according to users' specific measurement needs, which significantly shortens the test time. The multi-port measurement capability of VNA can improve test throughput and thereby significantly reduce device test costs. Typical applications include design, verification and production of antenna, data converter interfaces, automatic test of RF components and other devices, etc.

Advanced Calibration
Calibrating multi-port VNA test system is more time-consuming and complicated than calibrating 2-port or 4-port VNA. Users can calibrate with electronic calibration kit or mechanical calibration kit, but it sounds very complicated to calibrate 10-port or 20-port with mechanical calibration kit. ECal is a very convenient calibration method, which greatly simplifies multi-port calibration while maintaining accuracy, and can replace traditional mechanical calibration kit to provide consistent calibration results and avoid human error. SIGLENT provides 2/4-port electronic calibration solution with frequency range of 9 kHz-26.5GHz. Keep one port of VNA and one port of ECal unchanged as a reference, all other ports can be connected to ECal once to characterize the characteristics of all ports. The S-parameter wizard can effectively guide users to complete calibration and ensure that all required port combinations are calibrated.
