Lambda Photometrics is pleased to announce the arrival of the RIGOL DNA5000 and DNA6000 Series Vector Network Analysers (VNAs). These next-generation instruments provide fully vector-corrected S-parameter measurements from 5 kHz up to 26.5 GHz, designed specifically for the characterisation of high-bandwidth passive and active RF devices.

DNA5000 Series: Precision Portability

The Rigol DNA5000 is a 2-port solution engineered for environments where space is a premium.

  • Form Factor: Compact depth of 121.4 mm.
  • Weight: Extremely portable at just 5.3 kg.
  • Applications: Ideal for field testing and lab environments.

DNA6000 Series: Advanced Multi-Port Capability

The Rigol DNA6000 is designed for complex test scenarios requiring high stability.

  • Multi-Port: Models available with up to 4 ports.
  • Advanced Analysis: Enables native mixed-mode S-parameter characterisation for differential and balanced devices.
  • Ultra-Low Noise: Features a class-leading trace noise of 0.003 dB.
