# Open Hardware Vector Network Analyzer

I'm developing a proof of concept two port microwave vector network analyzer. The project is under developent.

[Ongoing documentation and logs are located on a hackaday.io project page.](https://hackaday.io/project/26213-vector-network-analyzer)

## Usage

This project is still under development, y'all probably don't want to try reproducing it yet.

Two port measurements to 14 GHz work, a redesign for operation out to 36 GHz is in progress.

## Hardware Design

See `breakouts` and `hardware` for various modules developed for the network analyzer.

## Software Design

See the `software` directory for scraps of software written for testing VNA modules.
