The USB-powered R60 is a 1-port VNA capable of measuring S11 from 1 MHz to 6.0 GHz and is designed for use with any Windows PC or laptop. Its compact form factor allows it to connect directly to a device under test, eliminating instability introduced by test cables. R60 connects to an external PC or laptop using a USB cable, creating a future-proof solution that significantly enhances ease of use compared with conventional instruments.

The R60 provides a wide variety of analysis capabilities, including time-domain with gating and DTF measurements at no additional cost. Collection of metrology-grade S-parameters test results can be achieved manually or through automation in Python, MATLAB, Excel, C++, VB.NET, or LabVIEW.

Highlights:
Frequency range: 1.0 MHz-6.0 GHz
Measured parameters: S11, as Log magnitude, DTF, Smith, and more
Sweep types: Linear frequency, log frequency, segment
Effective directivity: 46dB
Measurement time per point: 100 µs min typ.
Up to 100,001 measurement points per sweep
Patented: US 9,291,657

Applications of the R60 include antenna matching, cable and connector quality control, antenna production quality assurance, field testing and troubleshooting of cables, material measurements, and many others.
