Data Sheet
EN01A
SIGLENT TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD
General Description
The SIGLENT SHN900A series of Vector Network Analyzers have a frequency range of 30 kHz to 26.5 GHz, which support 2-port scattering parameter, differential-parameter, and time-domain parameter measurements. The SHN900A series of VNAs are effective instrumentation for determining the Q-factor, bandwidth, and insertion loss of a filter, They feature impedance conversion, movement of measurement plane, limit testing, ripple test, fixture simulation, and adapter removal/insertion adjustments. The VNAs have five sweep types: Linear-Frequency mode, Log-Frequency mode, Power-Sweep mode, CW-Time mode, and Segment-Sweep mode. The SHN900A series VNAs also support scattering-parameter correction of SOLT, SOLR, TRL, Response, and Enhanced Response for increased flexibility in R&D and manufacturing applications.

Definitions
Specifications are valid under the following conditions: The instrument is within the calibration period, has been stored between 0 and 40℃ for at least 2 hours before use, and has been powered on and warmed up for at least 90 minutes. The specifications include the measurement uncertainty unless otherwise noted.
Specifications: All products are guaranteed to meet published specifications at room temperature (approximately 25℃), unless otherwise noted.
Typical: Performance deemed typical implies that 80 percent of the measurement results will meet the typical published performance with a 95th percentile confidence level at room temperature (approximately 25℃). Typical performance is not warranted and does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal: This value indicates the expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose performance is by design, such as the 50 Ohm connector.

About SIGLENT
SIGLENT is an international high-tech company, concentrating on R&D, sales, production and services of electronic test & measurement instruments.
SIGLENT first began developing digital oscilloscopes independently in 2002.
After more than a decade of continuous development, SIGLENT has extended its product line to include digital oscilloscopes, isolated handheld oscilloscopes, function/arbitrary waveform generators, RF/MW signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, digital multimeters, DC power supplies, electronic loads and other general purpose test instrumentation. Since its first oscilloscope was launched in 2005, SIGLENT has become the fastest growing manufacturer of digital oscilloscopes. We firmly believe that today SIGLENT is the best value in electronic test & measurement.
