LibreVNA is an open-source 100kHz to 6GHz two-port USB vector network analyzer, including device firmware and a Qt-based cross-platform control GUI. It supports SCPI-based scripting for automated RF measurements.
Use cases
- measure S-parameters of RF components up to 6GHz
- characterize antennas and filters with a low-cost VNA
- control a network analyzer from Python via SCPI commands
- run a portable two-port VNA over USB on Windows, Linux, or macOS
- learn RF measurement techniques with open hardware
When to choose
- you need an affordable open-source VNA covering 100kHz-6GHz
- you want scriptable/SCPI-controlled network analysis
- you want to tinker with or extend VNA hardware and firmware
When to avoid
- you need measurements above 6GHz or lab-grade calibrated accuracy
- you need a turnkey commercial instrument with vendor support and calibration services
