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
