nanoVNA vs SVA1015X VNA (Need entry level VNA)
Marcel G:
Tomud,
Buy a real VNA recently bought a Siglent SVA to see if it is something.
The Spectrum Analyzer function is nice but the VNA is outright toy.
I may also have an Agilent E5062A for sale, but that is in a different price range than, for example the SVA.

I mention this all the time that in SVA the VNA option is only a limited addition to the spectrum analyzer...
Therefore, I did not buy an SVA but an SSA Plus, and since it turned out that it is possible to convert SSA Plus to SVA, I took advantage of it.
However, when it comes to purchasing a VNA, I'll probably be looking for something in the future, but at least up to 6GHz.

Sorry it,s a converted SSA Plus, a worthless device and a waste of money.
Once you have worked with real VNA you have forgotten ALL the solutions suggested here. (Nanovna, Libre, VNWA, LiteVNA, SVA, SSA etc etc).
My advice is save enough money and buy a real VNA.

Which model as in the SVA range there are 3 different lots of specs.
What did you need the single port VNA to do ? :-//
They can only do S11 and S21 measurement with the single active port so when you need reverse the stimulus for S12 and S22 measurements so the DUT must be flipped instead.
However SNA5000A VNA's with 2 or 4 active ports are an entirely different beast .
Marcel G:
Hi Tautech, Would like to try out an SNA5000A or read a good (review) test, but unfortunately they are still somewhere.
Somewhere on this site there is someone who owns a decent device but the test he has done mean nothing in practice.
