Vector Network Analyzers – CMT S-Series

Compact S-series VNA’s deliver lab grade performance in a compact package, with all the features engineers have come to expect included: time domain and gating conversion, segmented frequency sweeps, linear/logarithmic sweeps, power sweeps, multiple trace formats, 16 channels max. with
up to 16 traces each, marker math, and limit tests.

VNAs 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.

Description

The S Series VNAs are compact 2-port, 9/100/1000 kHz to 4.5 GHz/6.5 GHz/8.5 GHz/18 GHz/44 GHz Vector Network Analyzers that deliver lab grade performance in a compact package, with all the features engineers have come to expect included:

  • Linear/logarithmic sweeps with multiple trace formats
  • Power sweeps
  • Time domain and gating conversion
  • Frequency offset mode
  • Fixture simulation (embedding/de-embedding)
  • 16 independent channels with up to 16 traces each
  • Markers with marker search tools and marker math, various conversion algorithms, and limit tests for pass/fail criteria, etc.
  • Test Automation programming in LabView, Python, MATLAB, .NET, etc.

The 18 GHz, S5180B has a built-in pulse modulator, synchronizer, and a set of logical generators supporting various pulse generation options and corresponding measurement modes. Pulses can be generated Synchronously or Asynchronously with respect to VNA measurement timing.

Compact analyzers can be powered by battery and are ideal for use by specialists working in the field, as well as laboratory and production testing in a wide variety of industries including design and production of RF components, cable CPEs, medical devices, aerospace, etc.

S Series VNA includes an RF measurement module and S2 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. S2 software can be installed on multiple computers, making it easy to share the use of the analyzer measurement module.

 

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.
