    In this video, an engineer from OMICRON Lab demonstrates the company’s latest B-TCA test fixture for the Bode 500 Vector Network Analyzer. The Bode 500 exhibits high linearity with a dynamic range that's greater than 120 dB for accurate vector network analysis, frequency response analysis, and impedance measurements.

    Features include a frequency range that enables precise measurements from 10 to 450 MHz, a high-impedance setting with ac-coupled 1 MΩ and 66 dB of dynamic range on the output, and a maximum power level of 16 dBm. Offering 66 dB of dynamic range on the output and a maximum power level of 16 dBm, the silent, fanless, portable instrument can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), USB-PD, or a standard power supply.
