Questions

How big is the 2017 VNA PCB?

It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2017 VNA use?

64 parts, built around the LM2904, NL7WB66US, SI5351A-B-GT and CX3225GB. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 2017 VNA KiCad files?

From the frohro/WWU-VNA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2017 VNA Kicad/2017 VNA.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2017 VNA design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
