What is a PXI Vector Network Analyzer?

PXI Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) combine RF source, measure, and signal separation capabilities with manual or automated vector calibration to enable precise and repeatable S-parameter measurements of RF devices in design, validation, and production test systems.

Perform S-Parameter Measurements

With frequency coverage up to 26.5 GHz, NI VNAs have a simplified calibration process through NI InstrumentStudioâ„¢ software for quick and accurate 2-port S-parameter measurements and the characterization of RF components.
