CMT 10 Year Anniversary - A Decade of Empowering Engineers

Copper Mountain Technologies

A Decade of Empowering Engineers

In 2011, Copper Mountain Technologies launched the industry’s first metrology-grade USB VNA. This gave users access to affordable and portable instrumentation without sacrificing performance. Since then, our focus has been empowering engineers with flexible VNA solutions backed by comprehensive support from an expert team of applications engineers.

Over the past decade, CMT’s product line has expanded to include over 30 instruments and application specific solutions for frequency ranges up to 110 GHz, including options for direct receiver access, frequency extension, easy system integration, and software compatibility for both Windows and Linux OS. As our product offerings have evolved, our commitment to customer support remains unchanged. We deliver solutions that extend the reach of engineers, with our own RF engineers supporting your team to help design/perform your measurements and ensure effective system integration.

As we reflect on this milestone of ten years in operation, CMT is especially thankful for the users who have embraced our products and paved the way for a new kind of VNA solution. Our success depends on yours. Thank you for your partnership.

About Copper Mountain Technologies

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 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.

Copper Mountain Technologies is ISO 9001-2015 certified. The Indianapolis calibration lab is accredited in accordance with the recognized international standard ISO/IEC 17025 (2005). Repair services are also offered at various Authorized Service Centers throughout the world.

Copper Mountain Technologies has been recognized by industry analyst Frost & Sullivan as an industry leader with the 2020 Global Customer Value Leadership Award, 2017 Global USB VNA Product Leadership Award, and the 2015 Global Leadership in Innovation Award.

Case Studies

ACOM has been a customer of Copper Mountain Technologies since their VNAs first hit the market in 2011. In the many years since that first purchase, measurement speed and dynamic range have remained attractive aspects for ACOM users. The compelling combination of price, performance, and convenience have captured the companies’ loyalty and their engineers like Adi Voh see no reason to stray away from CMT VNAs.

As a low-quantity manufacturer of custom components, Mitch Bisarya and Networks International Corporation (NIC) understand the importance of precision and value. Since their first purchase in 2012, NIC has witnessed the evolution of CMT products from expanding capabilities and specifications, to the ever-improving software applications available to both Windows® and Linux® users. Above all, the ability to make consistent and repeatable measurements through a universal setup across multiple instruments has turned NIC into loyal users of CMT VNAs.

UBT’s MammoWave® addresses the need for better breast cancer screening techniques, providing a safer and cost-effective alternative as a complementary imaging modality to mammograms. Copper Mountain Technologies’ 2-port C1209 9 GHz VNA is at the core of the MammoWave® system. The data from C1209 measurements, mainly complex S21 measurement, is processed through UBT’s dedicated software, helping to detect cancer cells.

It can be a challenge to find affordable test equipment capable of operating in the low frequency range required for Butterfly Network’s ultrasound probe. Copper Mountain Technologies’ PXIe-S5090 2-Port 9 GHz Analyzer has provided improved speed and performance to match their unique application needs. Comprehensive support from CMT’s expert applications engineers has helped optimize VNA performance and gave Butterfly Network the results they were looking for.

Sonomatic performs a wide array of non-destructive tests on non-metallic materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene piping. These materials are used for gas, water, fracking, and additional areas where conventional testing techniques are inadequate. Featuring a frequency range of 85 MHz to 14 GHz and a measurement speed of 200 µs, the performance of Copper Mountain Technologies’ R140 1-Port VNA, coupled with its small size, make it the perfect instrument to address Sonomatic’s unique needs.

When Verus Research purchased Copper Mountain Technologies’ R60 1-Port 6 GHz analyzer for R&D applications to meet their customer’s requirements they received more than just a VNA. Support from CMT’s applications engineers enhanced the user experience and helped Verus Research optimize their measurements. Metrology-grade VNA performance and support from expert engineers working as an extension of the team enabled Verus Research to achieve their goals.
