logarithmic frequency sweep: PicoVNA 106 with PicoVNA 5 software

Post by progenitive »

Is a logarithmic frequency sweep possible? This is something I've always seen with other VNAs, but I can't find a way to do it with the PicoVNA.

This is not currently possible in the PicoVNA 3 or PicoVNA 5 User Interface software, but will likely be added to PicoVNA 5 in 2024.

If there are features that you would find useful, but are not currently available in the PicoVNA 5 software, you can help the development team to prioritise these by using the in-app Feature Prioritisation feedback. (Available in-app via "Feedback" -> "Feature Prioritisation".) This helps the development team to add the features that you find most useful to the software more quickly.

Log frequency sweeps are currently possible using the PicoVNA 5 API (using a programming language of your choice, such as C++ or Python). There is an example of performing a logarithmic frequency sweep in the downloadable SDK examples (folder api/python/04_log_frequency_sweep), https://www.picotech.com/downloads?soft=t9">available from the downloads page.
