683 B

1MHz - 6GHz VNA2

!work in progress, more information will be added in the future!

This is the improved version of my first attempt at a VNA.

Main differences to first version:

  • Exchanged some RF chips for slightly cheaper versions with similar specifications
  • Power supply scheme changed to use 5V instead of 12V, potentially allowing the device to be powered from USB
  • FPGA gets configured from the microcontroller, removing the need for a JTAG programmer. This also allows firmware updates of both the FPGA and the microcontroller through the USB port
  • RF sections distributed differently on PCB to increase isolation between ports
