The SN0912 from Copper Mountain Technologies is a 12-Port Vector Network Analyzer that operates from 300 kHz to 9 GHz. This VNA is an organic extension of the Compact VNA solutions offered by CMT. It enables the full complexity of VNA measurements, a streamlined calibration process, and reduced test times. This VNA utilizes precise calibration methods with an automatic calibration mechanism to measure signal parameters with the smallest uncertainty and efficiently characterize various active and passive Device Under Test (DUT). It can measure all s-parameters and supports linear frequency, log frequency, segment, and power sweep types. The analyzer has a measurement time of 24μs per point and can measure 2 to 500,001 points per sweep.
The SN0912 is a versatile solution that enables dependable and accurate testing of various DUTs, including multiport antennas, integrated circuits, switches, interconnects, cable assemblies, diplexers, etc. It is suitable for use in telecommunications, automotive, satellite, aerospace, defense, and many other industries that require multiple input/output components. This VNA consists of CMT’s next-generation software to deliver an intuitive and contemporary user interface and offers compatibility with both Linux and Windows 7 OS and above.
The VNA requires an AC supply from 100 to 250 V and consumes 85 W of power. It is available in an enclosure that measures 436 x 425 x 96 mm and can fit in a 19” rack and utilizes robust, durable port connectors with ergonomic positioning for simplified cable connection.
