Hello,
I do not know nothing about radio setup, your hardware and this brand,
so I am afraid I can not help you much.
But the manufacturer claims it works under Linux and provides
instructions to get it running:
https://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appsFeatures/applications/vna/appVNA.html#linux-users-only
Albeit there is an error in the link to download the "control program"
which points to the Windows client instead of the Linux one.
The correct link
is:https://downloads.redpitaya.com/downloads/Clients/vna/vna-linux-tool.zip
