In-Depth Insights and User Experience
Benchtop Use and Flexible Configuration
Although designed for rack systems, the DNA6000-R is also perfectly suited for the laboratory bench. Simply connect a monitor via HDMI and input devices via USB to enjoy a user experience equal to that of a traditional network analyzer with a native screen.
Rack Integration (ATE)
The space-saving 1U design (432 mm × 43.9 mm × 440 mm) maximizes efficiency in automated test environments (ATE). This architecture enables high-density deployment within industrial systems, reducing footprints without sacrificing performance.
Multiple Interfaces and Standard Control
The rear panel offers a comprehensive suite for connectivity, including LAN, USB, HDMI, and GPIB ports. Full support for Web Control for remote operations and the use of SCPI command sets significantly facilitate programming for system integration.
Dynamic Range Up to 127 dB
The receiver's performance delivers a typical dynamic range of 127 dB, which is essential for deep characterization of both passive and active devices, ensuring accurate measurements even on components that require high noise suppression.
Detailed Analysis for RF Components
Measuring the response of antennas, filters, and RF modules is intuitive and scalable. Advanced processing capabilities allow for the easy observation of critical parameters such as insertion loss and passband, with an immediate response on screen.
Port Extension
The port extension functionality allows for the precise calibration and cancellation of unwanted effects introduced by test cables and additional connection lines, virtually moving the calibration reference plane directly to the DUT terminals.
Fixture Embedding and De-embedding
Isolate the true performance of the device under test. Utilizing mathematical de-embedding functions, the DNA6000-R analyzer virtually eliminates errors and interference caused by fixtures used during the test setup.
Extensive VNA Calibration Options
Full support for classic mechanical calibration kits and ECal electronic calibration modules. The VNA smoothly handles SOLT, Response Short, Response Open, OSL correction routines, and Enhanced calibrations for 1 or 2 ports.
Comprehensive S-Parameter Characterization
Vector acquisition enables the integrated extraction and analysis of Scattering parameters (S11, S21, S12, S22 for two-port models), offering a foundational view for measuring energy transfer and reflection within radio frequency networks.
Graphical Analysis via Smith Chart
For maximum convenience in impedance matching, the VNA natively integrates visualization via the Smith Chart. An indispensable tool for RF engineering, it allows for easy analysis of reactance and resistance across the entire operating spectrum.
Simultaneous Multi-Pane Display
The graphic output, via an external display, supports the exclusive "Multi-view" display, organizing multiple data windows, polar charts, logarithmic curves, and measurement tables simultaneously, exponentially facilitating R&D work.
