Product review: Pico VNA 108 8.5-GHz vector network analyzer

October 15, 2020 By David Herres Leave a Comment

pico VNA

The vector network analyzer (VNA) is an advanced member of the oscilloscope family of electronic instruments. The DUT may be as simple as a single resistor or conductor. The VNA can also operate as a time domain reflectometer, measuring the distance to and nature of a fault, impedance anomaly, complete break or short in a […]

Two-port USB-controlled, lab-grade VNA operates from 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz

August 31, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

pico saelig

The Pico Technology PicoVNA 108 extends to 8.5 GHz the operating frequency range of the same-footprint PicoVNA 106 6 GHz instrument released three years ago. The new PicoVNA 108 fulfills user demand for “faster, more frequency range, more port power and dynamic range, and more functionality.” In addition to the PicoVNA 108’s extended range from […]

PC-based VNA handles signals out to 8.5 GHz

August 24, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

pico vna

The newly announced PicoVNA 108 comes in the same low-cost, small-footprint and portable format as the widely used PicoVNA106 6 GHz instrument. The PicoVNA 108 can see out further to 8.5 GHz and it can see down deeper to –124 dB. It provides new “save on trigger” synchronization for multiple measurements, for example, with changing […]

Magnetic positioning system holds PCBs for instrument probing

May 12, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

pico technology

Oscilloscopes with more than two channels present humans with a common problem: none of us have enough hands to hold more than two oscilloscope probes in place. This is especially an issue when using an 8-channel oscilloscope such as the new PicoScope 6800E devices, so it was particularly important for Pico Technology to address it. […]

PC-based scopes host smart interfaces to handle automotive apps

April 8, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

pico saelig

The new PicoScope 4425A and 4225A diagnostic oscilloscopes are available in four-channel and two-channel configurations. This latest diagnostic PicoScope design combines all the strengths of the existing 4425/4225 automotive scopes but adds smart interfaces for powered and intelligent accessories. The new accessory interface, called PicoBNC+, combines the standard BNC connector with active digital and power […]
