The DNA5000 series has been developed with the aim of bringing professional vector analysis capabilities to a greater number of engineers, integrating high-level specifications into a compact, benchtop-optimized instrument.
High-level RF performance in an affordable format.
The DNA5000 covers a wide frequency range from 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz, enabling it to handle both low-frequency applications and microwave device characterization. The instrument incorporates a two-port measurement architecture with a frequency resolution of up to 1 Hz, providing extremely precise control of spectral analysis.
Key performance parameters include:
• Typical dynamic range of 127 dB, suitable for characterizing devices with high attenuation or rejection
• Trace noise of 0.005 dB, ensuring stability and repeatability in critical measurements
• Output power up to 10 dBm, optimized for testing active and passive devices.
These capabilities position the DNA5000 as a robust solution for analyzing filters, antennas, cables, passive components, and complex RF systems.
Extensive measurement and analysis capabilities
The system integrates a complete set of network characterization functions, including:
• S-parameters (S11, S21, etc.)
• Impedance and VSWR
• Group delay
• Time domain analysis (TDA)
• Fixture embedding and de-embedding
• Antenna measurement
In addition, it supports multiple display formats such as Smith Chart, Polar, Log Mag and Phase, facilitating multidimensional analysis of devices under test.
Flexible calibration and metrological accuracy:
The series supports various calibration methods, including SOLT, OSL, and electronic calibration (Ecal), as well as single- and dual-port calibration configurations. This allows the process to be adapted to different measurement scenarios, ensuring accuracy and traceability in both laboratory and production environments.
Compact design, advanced connectivity and user experience.
One of the differentiating elements of the DNA5000 is its focus on usability:
• 10.1-inch HD touchscreen
• Hybrid interface (physical keyboard + touch control)
• Compatibility with external keyboard and mouse
• Remote control via web interface
• LAN, USB and HDMI connectivity.
Weighing approximately 5.3 kg and with reduced dimensions, the device is designed to be easily integrated into space-constrained test benches or for portable applications.
Applications and Positioning
The DNA5000 is geared towards a wide range of applications in:
• Development of RF and microwave devices
• Validation of communication modules
• Production and testing of electronic components
• Academic and research environments
