LA19-14-06B: 6 GHz Handheld Vector Network Reflectometer
The LA19-14-06B is a 6.4 GHz USB-controlled handheld Vector Network Analyser. It delivers professional-grade performance in a compact and lightweight package at an unmatched level of affordability. It is optimised for 1-port applications (vector S11 measurements), but also supports S21 (with a limited dynamic range) via Port 2 on the rear of the instrument.
Key Benefits
- Compact USB-powered design ideal for lab or field applications
- Wideband 300 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range (usable to 6.4 GHz)
- Optimised design for S11 vector measurements (also supports S21)
- Fast 100 μs per point sweep speed for S11 vector measurements
- Time domain reflectometry (TDR) utility included
- Exceptionally low trace noise (0.006 dB rms at maximum 140 kHz operating bandwidth)
- Unique on-board inline calibrator helps to reduce drift in field applications
- Control via user interface, API or SCPI
- Signal generator (CW and frequency sweep) utility
Product Description
The LA19-14-06B uses a single board design in order to provide a uniquely affordable solution which nevertheless includes a unique on-board electronic calibrator that can be used to store calibrations and improve the instrument's temperature performance. The instrument also offers exceptionally low trace noise of the order of 0.006 dB rms at its maximum operating bandwidth of 140 kHz, a maximum measurement speed of 100 μs per point for S11 measurements and 10 Hz frequency setting resolution. All of this in a compact, handheld package.
The LA19-14-06B can be supported by most commercially available calibration kits as well as LA Techniques' precision PC3.5 calibration kits and Easy-Cal electronic calibration module.
