Our SC Series Compact VNAs deliver a small lab grade VNA with higher speed, more dynamic range, and higher output power, 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.

Versatile and portable Copper Mountain Technologies' SC Series 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.

Copper Mountain Technologies' USB VNAs are next generation analyzers designed to meet the needs of 21st Century engineers. Our VNAs include an RF measurement module and a processing module, a software application which runs on a Windows or Linux PC, laptop, or tablet, connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface.

This innovative approach delivers high measurement accuracy and enables users to take advantage of faster processors, newer computers and larger displays. USB VNAs have lower Total Cost of Ownership and fewer potential failure points.

These instruments are smaller and lighter, can go almost anywhere, are very easy to share and eliminate the need for data purging or hard drive removal in secure environments

Software application is part of the VNA

Copper Mountain Technologies SC Series 2-port Lab GradeVector Network Analyzer

The software application takes raw measurement data from the data acquisition (measurement) module and recalculates into S-parameters in multiple presentation formats utilizing proprietary algorithms. These new and advanced calibration and other accuracy enhancing algorithms were developed by our metrology experts. Our software can be downloaded free from our website, used on an unlimited number of PCs using either Linux or Windows operating systems, and enables easy VNA integration with other software applications and automation.

The software application features a fully functioning Demo Mode, which can be used for exploring VNAs' features and capabilities without an actual measurement module connected to your PC.

Measurement Capabilities

Measured parameters

S11, S21, S12, S22. All models also measure absolute power of the reference and received signals at the port.

Number of measurement channels

Up to 16 independent logical channels: each logical channel is represented on the screen as an individual channel window. A logical channel is defined by such stimulus signal settings as frequency range, number of test points, or power level.

Data traces

Up to 16 data traces can be displayed in each channel window. A data trace represents one of such parameters of the DUT as S-parameters, response in time domain, or input power response.

Memory traces

Each of the 16 data traces can be saved into memory for further comparison with the current values.

Data display formats

Logarithmic magnitude, linear magnitude, phase, expanded phase, group delay, SWR, real part, imaginary part, Smith chart diagram and polar diagram display formats are available.

Dynamic Range

Typical dynamic range of 140 dB is achieved from 5 MHz to 6.5 GHz (at 10 Hz IF bandwidth).

Sweep Features

Copper Mountain Technologies SC Series 2-port Lab GradeVector Network Analyzer

Sweep type

Linear frequency sweep and logarithmic frequency sweep are performed with fixed output power. Linear power sweep is a fixed frequency.

Measured points per sweep

Set by the user from 2 to 500,001.

Segment sweep features

A frequency sweep within several independent user-defined segments. Frequency range, number of sweep points, source power, and IF bandwidth can be set for each segment.

Output Power

Source power from -45 dBm to +15 dBm with a resolution of 0.05 dB. In frequency sweep mode power slope can be set up to 2 dB/GHz to compensate for high frequency attentuation in fixture cables.

Sweep Trigger

Trigger modes: continuous, single, or hold.

Trigger sources: internal, manual, external, bus.

Trace Functions

Copper Mountain Technologies SC Series 2-port Lab GradeVector Network Analyzer

Trace display

Data trace, memory trace, or simultaneous indication of data and memory traces.

Trace math

Data trace modification by math operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division of measured complex values and memory data

Autoscaling

Automatic selection of scale division and reference level value to have the trace most effectively displayed.

Electrical delay

Calibration plane moving to compensate for the delay in the test setup, or for compensation of electrical delay in the device under test (DUT) during measurements phase deviation

Phase offset

Defined in degrees.
