Features & Capabilities

Blue VNA is a comprehensive application designed to fully control the miniVNA Vector Network Analyzer. It supports data acquisition over USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi, presenting reflection data in rectangular or Smith Chart formats. Users can measure key antenna parameters such as SWR, Return Loss, Impedance, and Phase, and export results in multiple compatible formats like CSV, ZPLOTS, or S1P.

The app offers a frequency generator mode with up to two independent channels (for miniVNA Pro), including features like adjustable attenuators and phase differences. It also supports cable data measurements with enhanced precision, measurement of inductors, capacitors, resistors, and crystal resonance frequencies in both manual and automatic modes. Blue VNA is ideal for ham radio enthusiasts and professionals seeking an all-in-one antenna analysis tool with extensive functionality and flexible connectivity options.

User Reviews

Blue VNA is widely praised for bringing PC-level VNA functionalities to mobile devices with strong Bluetooth and USB support, user-friendly interface, and good accuracy. Common issues include occasional app crashes when setting frequency ranges in Smith Chart mode and Bluetooth connection problems requiring location services. Some users note calibration limitations and incompatibility with MiniVNA Tiny due to lack of USB support in the app. Overall, the app is highly appreciated for ease of use, developer support, and effective VNA performance on smartphones.
Pros
  • Provides all functionality of the PC software in a mobile app, including viewing and analyzing VNA measurements conveniently on smartphones and tablets.
  • Works seamlessly with various MiniVNA hardware units, supporting Bluetooth and USB OTG connections effectively after updates.
  • Highly user-friendly and straightforward interface, allowing even users without prior VNA knowledge to obtain useful results.
  • Offers reliable and accurate VNA measurements that compare well with other hardware analyzers and PC applications.
  • Excellent developer support with prompt updates resolving issues like USB connectivity.
Cons
  • App crashes when setting a custom frequency range directly in Smith Chart mode; workaround involves setting range in graph mode first.
  • Bluetooth connection issues on some Android versions require enabling location services to work.
  • Differences in measurement accuracy compared to desktop applications possibly due to limited calibration points in the app.
  • Lacks certain features like adjustable sample numbers for calibration and averaging mode in Smith Chart view.
  • App not compatible with MiniVNA Tiny which lacks Bluetooth and app has no USB connection support, despite showing image of Tiny on Play Store.

Although the app crashes setting a custom frequency range in the Smith Chart mode, one can set a custom frequency range in the graph mode. If then the user wants to view Smith Chart results, he can simply switch back to Smith Chart mode and retain the custom freq range. This is a satisfactory work around. My only other ask would be to permit an averaging mode in the Smith Chart view, where the analyzer will measure over a period of time over the custom frequency range.
