The Hugen NanoVNA-H is now being sold at, and there are several clones available on Aliexpress that are both black and white in color. However, hugen's design was soon cloned by other Chinese factories and this is when the NanoVNA product took off and became a well known name for an affordable VNA. Hugen began by making 50 units of his design to sell to some hams who had been following his design improvements online. Hugen is a ham who innovated on eddy555's original open source design, adding features like battery management, improved PCB layout, PC software and extending the frequency range from 300 MHz to 900 MHz. The current low cost NanoVNA's available on the market now are mostly the "hugen" version known as the NanoVNA-H. NanoVNA V2.0 PCB Photos NanoVNA Version, Model, Naming and Credit ConfusionĮddy555's original NanoVNA design has already been released for several years prior to the current NanoVNA popularity boom, but during those years eddy555 was only selling the product in small quantities as a DIY kitset. A VNA is an extremely useful tool in any ham or RF enthusiasts tool belt as it can be used to measure RF filters, tune antennas, measure coax cable loss, and find cable faults.

What makes it so special is it's extremely low cost as it can be found on eBay & Aliexpress for under US$40 and on Amazon for around US$50-US$70. The NanoVNA (v1.0) is a versatile Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) that was originally designed by / ttrftech.

Version 2.0 will also have improved dynamic range. The NanoVNA 2.0 will be able to measure from 50 kHz to 3 GHz, and possibly up to 3.5 GHz. It can be extended to 1.5 GHz, but with severely reduced performance. The current NanoVNA is limited in that it can only measure from 50 kHz to 900 MHz, with performance being reduced above 300 MHz. The NanoVNA 2.0 is expected to retail at around US$60 which is around the same price as the current NanoVNA. Recently some photos of the NanoVNA 2.0 prototype have been uploaded to the NanoVNA groups.io forum. JanuNanoVNA Version 2.0 First PCB Pictures Released + NanoVNA Naming & Credit Clarificationsīack in October 2019 we posted about the upcoming NanoVNA version 2.0 which back then was still being designed with a predicted release date of January 2020.
