It’s more or less the same as its predecessor, just slightly larger to accommodate for external charging and provide full functionality for newer IOS devices.įor this update, I wanted to prioritize ease-of-use.

We do have a separate list for mainly benchtop digital oscilloscopes, as well as handheld digital oscilloscopes, which deserves its own list.įocusing again on compact SAs, it was high time that I updated the older Oscium WiPry to the 5th and latest iteration of the award-winning model, the Oscium WiPry 2500x, which supports newer Android and IOS versions, as well as the latest Windows and Mac systems.

This isn’t so much the case with Digital Oscilloscopes, and despite many looking very similar to their SA cousins, the two types of instruments have fairly different capabilities – fundamentally, oscilloscopes analyze a signal in the time domain, whereas SAs/VNAs analyse the signal in the frequency domain. The lines between SAs and VNAs are blurring, especially with regards to benchtop analyzers and newer models from companies like Siglent don’t even seem to make separate models anymore. In contrast to the SA market, there is a plethora of compact VNAs on the market. I’ve also added the Aursinc Nano as a VNA (Vector Network Analyzer or Vector Signal Analyzer) – technically and historically different from SAs, but more or less classified today as a sub-category of them. I’ve still kept the RF models because of their range, and because the compact SA(Spectrum Analyzer) market is fairly limited, though I’ve decided to introduce a couple of newer compact models too. One thing that has been improving in the spectrum analyzer/VNA market recently is the level of sophistication of portable models, especially with regard to display technologies and newer models like the Seesi TinySA offer a much clearer and sharper picture compared to the older RF models.
