Siglent SNA5000-TDA Time-Domain analysis

SIGLENT SNA5000-TDA Time Domain Analysis Option

The SNA5000-TDA option enables advanced Time Domain Analysis (TDA) on SIGLENT SNA5000A Series Vector Network Analyzers. By transforming frequency-domain S-parameter measurements into the time domain, this option allows engineers to visualize reflections, transmission behavior, and impedance variations with high clarity and precision.

The SNA5000-TDA option is ideal for analyzing cables, PCB interconnects, connectors, fixtures, and RF structures, providing intuitive insight into signal behavior that is difficult to detect using frequency-domain measurements alone.

Key Features & Benefits

• Frequency-to-time domain transformation
  Convert S-parameters into time-domain responses for reflection and transmission analysis.

• Time-domain gating
  Isolate specific discontinuities and remove unwanted reflections from fixtures and adapters.

• Impedance vs. time visualization
  Clearly identify impedance mismatches, reflections, and structural transitions.

• Single-ended and multi-port analysis
  Suitable for RF and high-frequency interconnect characterization.

• Seamless VNA integration
  Uses existing calibration, markers, and measurement setups for efficient workflow.

• Software license option
  Activated via license key — no additional hardware required.

Ideal Applications

• RF and microwave component analysis

• Cable and interconnect characterization

• Fixture and adapter evaluation

• PCB trace analysis

• R&D and production test environments

Compatibility

• Compatible with SIGLENT SNA5000A Series Vector Network Analyzers

• License-based option, activated directly on the instrument

Why Choose the SNA5000-TDA Option?

The SNA5000-TDA option adds powerful time-domain insight to your SNA5000A, helping you quickly locate and isolate reflection sources while improving measurement accuracy and confidence. It’s a cost-effective upgrade for engineers who need time-domain visibility without full TDR hardware.
