MegiQ VNA0440 4 GHz PC-based VNA

The MegiQ VNA0440 is a compact USB-driven vector network analyser (VNA) manufactured in the Netherlands. The bidirectional, 2-port VNA allows detailed impedance measurements of antennas, components and circuits covering 400 to 4000 MHz, ie, all popular communication bands for GSM-LTE, GPS, ISM, Wi-Fi, Dect, etc.

An extra generator output is suitable for characterising 3-port devices, like splitters and hybrids. The internal, programmable bias generator with bias tees allows fully automatic parametric measurements of, eg, amplifier and varactor/PIN circuits.

The VNA and the PC software were developed for RF engineers, with emphasis on use in real life. With the UFL test kit and the RF Sandbox, the user can be up and running within 10 min with a series of life experiments. These are instructive for the novice user and entertaining for the expert.

The UFL kit allows measuring circuits on micro PCBs, like baluns, antennas and amplifiers. Other available kits include WFL, SMA and balanced, including calibration tools.

PC software provides intuitive control, extensive graphing, data export and reporting. Measurements and set-ups can be stored in sessions for easy ‘Retrace-and-Compare’. The ‘Click-and-Match’ feature calculates and simulates matching circuits.
