The 1-Port VNAs (cable and antenna analyzers) perform lab quality measurements connecting directly to the DUT without the need for a test cable, resulting in increased accuracy and quality of VNA measurements, specifi cally in cable and antenna analysis. In 2016 we were granted a US patent for Measurement Module of Virtual Vector Network Analyzer number US 9,291,657 for this innovation.
Due to their measurement accuracy, ultra-compact size and elimination of a test cable Copper Mountain Technologies' cable and antenna analyzers (refl ectometers) provide a wide variety of analysis capabilities and are ideal for use by specialists working with antennas and antenna feeders in the fi eld, as well as laboratory and production testing in a wide variety of industries including design and production of various IoT hardware components, materials testing, medical devices, aerospace applications, 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 PC, laptop or tablet, connecting to the measurement hardware via its 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 a 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.
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. States may be saved in RVNA directories by default and the two buttons on the top left of the RVNA screen can be used to save an unlimited amount of states to any directory on your PC.
S11, cable loss
Up to 4 independent logical channels. Each logical channel is represented on the screen as an individual channel window. A logical channel is defi ned by such stimulus signal settings as frequency range, number of test points, etc.
Multiple data traces can be displayed in each channel window. A data trace represents one parameter of the DUT such as magnitude and phase of S11, time domain, cable loss.
Each of the multiple data traces can be saved into memory for further comparison with current values.

A frequency sweep within several independent user-defi ned segments. Frequency range, number of sweep points and IF bandwidth should be set for each segment.
Output power of every 1-Port VNA is adjustable. Typical output power and adjustment steps vary by model. Consult the specifi cations of each instrument for more detail.
Trigger modes: continuous, single, or hold.
Trigger sources: internal, bus.
Data trace, memory trace, or simultaneous indication of data and memory traces.
Data trace modification by math operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division of measured complex values and memory data.
The program allows the user to load a Touchstone fi le (*.s1p and *.s2p) into data memory.
Automatic selection of scale division and reference level value to have the trace most effectively displayed.
Calibration plane moving to compensate for the delay in test setup. Compensation for electrical delay in a DUT during measurements of deviation from linear phase.
Defined in degrees.
