The Bode 500 Vector Network Analyzer is Now Available!

The new Bode 500 vector network analyzer (VNA) is now available for order, offering a wide frequency range from 10mHz to 450MHz. The Bode 100 VNA, covering 1Hz to 50MHz, has been highly regarded for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features that meet demanding testing needs. With the Bode 500, users can address Power Integrity challenges, including power distribution network (PDN) impedance and component characterization. This analyzer is designed to handle the toughest testing requirements.

Bode 500 Vector Network Analyzer

The Bode 500 has a delivery lead time of 12-16 weeks and is priced at $14,900.00. The software is included and can be accessed at Picotest Support, and all probes and accessories compatible with the Bode 100 also work seamlessly with it as well.


This VNA boasts high linearity and a dynamic range exceeding 120 dB, ensuring accurate vector network analysis, frequency response analysis, and impedance measurements. The switchable inputs offer 50 Ω termination and a high impedance setting with ac-coupled 1 MΩ, suitable for active systems and external probes. With 66 dB of dynamic range on the output and a maximum power level of 16 dBm, it provides sufficient signal injection power for loop gain and output impedance measurements on switching converters and PDNs.


These features make the Bode 500 ideal for power integrity verifications and loop stability measurements.

The Bode 500 provides several enhancements, including an extended frequency range from 10mHz to 450MHz, increased dynamic range, and a wider signal source range from -50 dBm to 16 dBm. It also features a SCPI interface, network/Ethernet connection, and external trigger/reference.


Diverse Functions and Measurements of the Bode 500

The Bode 500 serves multiple functions, acting as an impedance analyzer, frequency response analyzer, and vector network analyzer. It supports a variety of domain analyses, including frequency domain, Smith, Polar, Nyquist, memory, and waveform math. Additionally, it facilitates SPICE model generation.


The Bode 500 excels in performing a wide range of measurements. It is adept at handling power integrity issues, such as PDN and ultra-low impedance/Q, transimpedance, and 1-port, 2-port, and 3-port measurements. It is also effective in power supply evaluations, including stability, PSRR, input/output impedance, filter assessments, NISM, reverse transfer, and digitally controlled supplies. Furthermore, it characterizes various components, including passives, magnetics, semiconductors, optocouplers, opamps, and DC bias. The Bode 500 also supports other measurements like S-parameters, RFID/NFC, piezo and quartz, filters, cable, wireless/crosstalk, audio, solar cell, and battery analyses.
