Description
Rigol’s DNA5000 series vector network analyzers are powerful and flexible tools. With a frequency range from 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz, the 2-port DNA5000 provides reliable measurements and numerous functions. These devices are designed to give you optimal and immediate insight into scattering, differential, and time domain measurements.
Five sweep types are available:
- Linear frequency sweep (start/stop frequency, uniform step size).
- Logarithmic frequency sweep (finer resolution in the lower frequency range).
- Power sweep (variation of output power at constant frequency, e.g., for compression or intermodulation measurements).
- CW time sweep (time-dependent measurement at a fixed frequency, e.g., temperature or aging behavior).
- Segment sweep (user-defined frequency segments with individual parameters such as number of points and dwell time).
Thanks to a modern 10.1″ touch display, guided calibration wizard, and support for common calibration methods (including mechanical and electronic E-Cal kits), getting started with RF measurement technology is just as quick as efficient workflows for experienced engineers. Interfaces such as LAN, USB, and HDMI, SCPI support, and a remote web interface make the Rigol DNA5042 the ideal hub for automated testing and integrated RF test environments.

Special Features
Universal VNA
Ideal as a first or additional VNA in the laboratory. Despite focusing on price-performance ratio and ease of use, the models cover most typical RF tasks (filters, antennas, cables, interconnects).
Perfect fit
The frequency range covers numerous applications. With a range from 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz and two ports, it precisely meets the test requirements for basic passive components (such as filters, antennas, and cables), material dielectric constants, and high-speed connections.
High dynamic range
A wide dynamic range of over 120 dB combined with exceptionally low noise levels ensures precise characterization of components with high suppression ratios and stable measurement results.
Comprehensive analytical capabilities
Featuring built-in application tools including limit line testing (Pass/Fail), standing wave ratio (SWR) measurement, Smith charts, and time domain reflectometry (TDR), it efficiently handles tasks ranging from R&D validation to production line quality control.
Fixture Removal and DeEmbedding
Effortlessly eliminate the influence of test fixtures, adapters, and cables through fixture removal and deembedding, enabling precise measurement of the true S-parameters of the device under test (DUT) itself to ensure result reliability.
Guided calibration
The built-in calibration wizard provides clear, step-by-step guidance to ensure both novices and experts can swiftly and accurately complete setup, guaranteeing precision in every measurement.
Optional mechanical or electronic calibration kits
These high-precision, durable mechanical calibration blocks cover various frequency bands and interface types, ensuring traceability of test results and high repeatability. Electronic calibration blocks significantly reduce test preparation time, minimize human error, and are therefore the ideal choice for those seeking maximum efficiency and consistency.
Standard SCPI commands, command set compatibility
Thanks to its command set compatibility, it can be seamlessly integrated into or replace existing test systems with multiple remote control interfaces and support for standard SCPI commands. This means that automation scripts do not need to be rewritten and familiar workflows can be maintained.
