Rigol DNA6204-R vector network analyser
Details
The Rigol DNA6204-R is a 4-port vector network analyser covering 5kHz to 20GHz. As part of the DNA6000-R series, it measures S-parameters, impedance, VSWR, and group delay and is suited to RF system integration, multi-port device testing, microwave module characterisation, production verification, and pre-compliance RF debugging. The whole instrument fits in a single 1U rack slot, which keeps rack space free in larger measurement installations where several instruments share a cabinet.
The DNA6000-R series delivers strong RF performance, with a typical dynamic range of 127dB (10MHz to 6.5GHz, at 10Hz IF BW) and trace noise as low as 0.0015dB rms (typ.), which is an improvement over the DNA5000-series. The IF bandwidth is adjustable from 1Hz to 10MHz, giving direct control over the trade-off between measurement speed and noise floor. Frequency resolution is 1Hz across the full range.
Calibration options include SOLT, OSL, response, enhanced response, and ECal electronic calibration kits, with support for both mechanical cal kits and ECal in 2-port and 4-port configurations. There is no front-panel display: the Linux-based instrument is driven over LAN through Web Control or SCPI, or locally by connecting an HDMI monitor with a keyboard and mouse. Together with the GPIB and Application I/O interfaces, that makes the DNA6204-R a good fit for automated test racks, production verification and system integration.
