Brand new entry level VNAs start at ~2k EUR without upper price limit, depending on its measurement capabilities. More sophisticated vintage test equipment (HP/Agilent, Rohde&Schwarz) may be found on eBay in the range from 1k+ EUR to ~3.5k EUR. Prices for “Maker/hobbyist level” VNAs vary from 50ish EUR to ~550 EUR ( DG8SAQ VNWA V3) depending on model and additional accessories. This article will be about a quick set up of NanoVNA and doing some simple measurements. Few weeks ago I ordered a NanoVNA in order to perform simple tests on my RF equipment. This is very useful in order to characterize RF components such as antennas, filters, cables or amplifiers – the usual ham radio stuff. This is a compact Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) - a piece of test equipment which allows to measure radio frequency (RF) properties of a Device Under Test (DUT) such as Magnitude and Phase. While browsing the Internet, I stumbled here and there upon a nice little gadget for ham radio amateurs called NanoVNA.
