PicoVNA

Pico Technology has applied its expertise in compact USB instrumentation, high-performance sampling oscilloscopes, and time domain reflectometry to bring you outstanding value in a high-quality, low-cost vector network analyzer.

The PicoVNA 106 is a UK-designed, USB-controlled, professional, and laboratory-grade 300 kHz to 6 GHz vector network analyzer with high performance, portability, and affordability. Despite its small size and low cost, the instrument boasts a full-function, minimal-error, ‘Quad RX’ four-receiver architecture.

The PicoVNA Vector Network Analyzer Toolbox is a set of functions with examples to facilitate control and retrieval of measurements of S-parameters using the PicoVNA Vector Network Analyzer. Data can be plotted in MATLAB^®, including on Smith^® Charts using RF Toolbox™. This is a MATLAB toolbox that provides functions that use a COM object to interface to an ActiveX^® server provided by a shared library, to allow control of the PicoVNA from within MATLAB.
