Pico Technology, a leading company in PC-based measurement instruments, has announced the portable vector network analyzer and reflectometer "PicoVNA-R," which covers a frequency range of 300 kHz to 6 GHz. The PicoVNA-R is a PC-based portable vector network analyzer and reflectometer powered by USB-C bus power, designed to meet the need to evaluate the characteristics of antennas, cables, and passive components at the actual installation site rather than where the measuring instrument is set up. It features built-in TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) functionality and measures both the amplitude and phase of S11 and S21.

Achieving high-resolution ripple measurements with a low noise level of 22uV and an input circuit with 73dB SFDR at 16-bit resolution. In 16-bit resolution mode, it can perform high-resolution measurements for long durations of up to 200ms with a maximum bandwidth of 200MHz and 1GS long memory at 2.5GS/s. In 8-bit resolution mode, it enables high-speed digital circuit analysis with a maximum bandwidth of 500MHz at 5GS/s, allowing for both high-resolution ripple measurements and high-speed digital analysis. The PicoScope comes standard with 40 types of serial decoders, including SPI/I2C/I2S and CAN, 10BASE-1TS, and the MSO model can perform simultaneous serial analysis on up to 20 channels.

A 4-channel oscilloscope and MSO that simultaneously achieves high-precision measurement and high-speed sampling, operating on USB Type-C bus power. Pico Technology, the market leader in PC oscilloscopes, has announced the new PicoScope 5000E series oscilloscopes as a compact oscilloscope series powered by USB Type-C for engineers. It addresses the need for measuring high-sensitivity signals with small amplitudes and debugging analog, digital, and mixed signals. The PicoScope 5000E series offers true 16-bit resolution, a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz, a sampling rate of 2.5 GS/s, and 1 GS of capture memory. The PicoScope 5000E Plus series models include a switchable 8-bit high-speed mode with a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz, a sampling rate of 5 GS/s, and 2 GS of deep memory, providing both high-resolution, high-precision oscilloscope and 500 MHz high-speed debugging oscilloscope functionalities in one unit.

The compact and lightweight PC oscilloscopes from Pico Technology enable the analysis of multi-channel signals necessary for the installation and adjustment of large-scale systems at a low cost. They are also ideal for embedded systems requiring multi-channel analysis. The PicoScope 2000 series achieves high performance with 4 channels, 100 MHz bandwidth, and 1 GS/s sampling rate, all while being lightweight at 200g and pocket-sized (130 x 104 x 18.8 mm). The PicoScope 4000A series model 4824A, with a tablet-sized body of 190 x 170 x 40 mm and weighing 550g, allows for detailed measurements with 8 channels, 20 MHz bandwidth, and 12-bit resolution. It is powered by bus power from the PC, eliminating the need for a dedicated power supply. The dedicated software PicoScope 7 can be downloaded for free, ensuring access to the latest software at any time. It operates on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Additionally, 40 types of serial protocol decoding functions are also provided free of charge.
