Copper Mountain Cobalt C Series VNA up to 9 GHz and 20 GHz
Models Copper Mountain C1209, C2209, C4209, C1409, C2409, C4409, C1220, C2220, C4220, C1420, C2420, C4420
The Copper Mountain Cobalt/C Series VNA (vector network analyzers) deliver industry-leading dynamic range and sweep speed, with all the features engineers have come to expect included standard in the software. Depending on the model they are half rack or full rack modules designed for the use in the laboratory and in production testing, without requiring a lot of space. The VNAs can be integrated into production test system via manufacturing test plugin. Auxiliary board option is available on all Cobalt VNAs at the time of order (factory-installed) or as an add-on at a later date.
The models C4209, C4409, C4220, and C4420 are frequency extender compatible and are the anchor network analyzer for the CobaltFx frequency extender system.
The models C2409, C2220, and C2420 have direct receiver access for special applications involving external directional coupling, including load pull and high power measurements.
The Cobalt series devices include an RF measurement module/hardware and the S2 (2-port) or S4 (4-port) software application which runs on Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. The S2/S4 software can be installed on multiple computers that share the use of the analyzer measurement module.
- 2- and 4-port vector network analyzers.
- Frequency range 100 kHz to 9 GHz or 20 GHz.
- Measured parameters: S11, S12, S21, S22, or S11...S44.
- Measurement speed 10 µs (9 GHz models) or 12 µs (20 GHz models).
- Impedance 50 Ω
Applications
SAW and BTS filter tuning, RF component design and testing, on-wafer probing, field testing, insertion loss measurement, distance to fault measurements, antenna matching, quality control, material measurements, and many others.
