Advanced Measurement Capabilities
The SNA5032A supports a comprehensive set of measurements, including scattering parameters (S-parameters), differential-parameter analysis, time-domain measurements (TDR), and spectrum analysis. With a dynamic range of up to 125 dB, engineers can perform highly accurate characterization of filters, amplifiers, antennas, and other RF devices. It offers multiple sweep modes — linear frequency, logarithmic frequency, power sweep, CW-time, and segment sweep — giving users flexibility for different test scenarios. Enhanced calibration options such as SOLT, TRL, and enhanced response correction improve reliability by reducing systematic errors during critical measurements.
SNA Multi-window display:

The Siglent SNA5032A offers a multi-window display that lets users view multiple measurement results simultaneously. Engineers can compare S-parameters, Smith charts, time-domain traces, and spectrum results side by side on the 12.1-inch touchscreen, improving efficiency and analysis. This flexible interface makes it easy to correlate different measurements and gain deeper insights into device performance
Enhanced Time-Domain analysis(TDR)

With the Enhanced Time-Domain Analysis (TDR) option, the Siglent SNA5032A transforms frequency-domain measurements into powerful time-domain insights. This feature allows engineers to locate impedance discontinuities, measure transmission line characteristics, and analyze reflections with high resolution.
Supporting both step and impulse stimulus modes, the TDR option enables detailed examination of cables, connectors, PCBs, and interconnects. The high bandwidth of up to 26.5 GHz ensures excellent spatial resolution, helping to quickly identify faults, mismatches, or signal integrity issues in high-speed designs
