Copper Mountain Technologies develops innovative RF test and measurement solutions for engineers worldwide. Our development and applications support teams create solutions that enable RF and Microwave engineers to extend their reach through access to lab-grade instruments at affordable prices. Our world-class metrology and engineering resources work as an extension of your team. Copper Mountain Technologies is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with an R&D office and service center in Cyprus, and sales offices in Singapore, London, and Miami.
Copper Mountain Technologies provides vector network analyzers for thousands of clients in close to 100 countries around the world. Our VNAs include an RF measurement module and a software application that runs on an external PC laptop or tablet and connects to the measurement hardware via a USB interface. Users can take advantage of the latest operating systems, processing power, larger displays, and reliable performance of an external PC while realizing a lower total cost of ownership and simplified maintenance. The result is a faster, more effective test process that fits into the modern workspace.
Generally speaking, the measurement cycle for any VNA consists of three major components. As will be seen, some of the delay components are effectively fixed, while others depend...
True TRL calibration requires a VNA with 2 dedicated measurement receivers per test port. Learn more in this application note on designing and fabricating a TRL calibration kit...
A VNA measures S-parameters in frequency domain mode. While many measurements can be made in standard frequency domain mode, measurements can be simultaneously analyzed in time...
