Rigol DNA5142 14 GHz 2 Port Vector Network Analyser

The DNA5142 Vector Network Analyser empowers engineers to capture high-accuracy S-parameter data and thoroughly evaluate the transmission and reflection characteristics of RF and microwave devices. Intuitive visualisation – including Smith charts, polar plots and distance-to-fault (DTF) diagnostics – supports rapid impedance matching and fault localisation across complex networks. 

Covering frequencies from 5 kHz to 14 GHz, the DNA5142 serves as a core instrument for the design and testing of communication systems, semiconductor components, and high-frequency materials.

Broad Frequency Coverage for Diverse Applications
Operating from 5 kHz through to 14 GHz, the DNA5142 supports the demanding measurement requirements of passive and active components, high-speed interconnects, antennas, filters and amplifiers. The wide frequency range enables its use across aerospace, materials research, semiconductor validation and advanced communications development. 

Superior Measurement Stability and Dynamic Range
A wide >120 dB dynamic range and low trace noise underpin precise response characterisation, even when analysing high-suppression or low-reflection devices. The VNA’s low trace noise ensures stable, repeatable results in both laboratory and production environments. 

Advanced Analysis Tools Built-In
Integrated measurement and analysis capabilities – including SWR, group delay, pass/fail limits and fixture de-embedding – accelerate evaluation workflows without external software. Critical performance attributes are visualised in formats engineers rely on for design optimisation and verification. 

Calibration and Integration
Step-by-step calibration routines guide users through standard mechanical and electronic calibration processes, enhancing measurement traceability. Standardised SCPI command support and multiple remote interfaces enable seamless integration into automated test systems and bespoke control frameworks.

Accessory and System Support
A comprehensive ecosystem of calibration kits, fixturing solutions and test accessories facilitates rapid deployment and system customisation. Drop-in compatibility with existing test infrastructures via standard SCPI support reduces integration overhead and preserves familiar engineering workflows without rewriting code.
