Copper Mountain Planar Series Vector Network Analyzers up to 8 GHz

Models Copper Mountain Planar 304/1, Planar 804/1, Planar 808/1

The Copper Mountain Planar Series are vector network analyzers/VNA up to 8 GHz. Depending on the model they offer a 2- or 4-port configuration and direct receiver access. All devices are ATE compatible, rack mountable, and easy to program and share between multiple users. This analyzers are designed for operation with any Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, or tablet, or x86 board computer. The VNA application connects to the Planar devices with a standard USB cable, creating a future-proof solution that significantly enhances ease of use compared with conventional instruments.

The Planar series devices provide a wide variety of analysis capabilities, including time-domain with gating and automatic port extension, at no additional cost. With two independent signal sources, the Planar 808/1 is ideal for mixer and converter measurements. The 808/1 software supports fixture simulation for a variety of single ended and balanced topologies, enabling tests of differential devices without an external balun.

• Cost effective VNA from 100 kHz up to 3.2 or 8.0 GHz.
• 2-port models testing the parameters S₁₁, S₂₁, S₁₂, S₂₂ and a 4-port model for the parameters S₁₁...S44.
• Type N female connectors. Impedance 50 Ω
• Sweep types: Linear frequency, log frequency, segment, power sweep.
• Measurement speed 100 or 125 µs.
• USB connectivity to a PC.

Applications

...in the laboratory and in production testing, without requiring a lot of space. The VNA can be integrated into production test system via manufacturing test plug-in. RF component design and testing, on-wafer probing, field testing, insertion loss measurement, distance to fault measurement, antenna matching, quality control, material measurements, and many others.

Model Overview

VNAs and ACMs are delivered with factory calibration certificates containing no data. The add-on option for ISO17025/Z540-1 accredited, traceable calibration certificate and uncertainties is available and needs to be specified at time of order.
