CobaltFx WR8 Frequency Extension Solution, 90-140 GHz with VDI Extender Modules
CobaltFx cost-effective millimeter wave frequency extension system allows you to build a scalable and affordable 5G testing solution.
- Frequency Range: 90-140 GHz
- Connector Type: Waveguide WR8.0
The system can be anchored by your choice of two vector network analyzers:
-
- C4220 2-port 20 GHz VNA
(Must have 1 booster kit)
- C4420 4-port 20 GHz VNA
(Must have 2 booster kits)
- C4220 2-port 20 GHz VNA
The total cost of the system depends on the selected VNA. Third-party extenders, including VDI extenders, only work with 20GHz CMT VNAs and require one booster kit for 2-port VNAs (C4220) and two booster kits for 4-port VNAs (C4420). The extenders are packaged in small and versatile enclosures that allow for flexible port arrangements. VDI extenders can be purchased from CMT or VDI.
- - Frequency range: 90 GHz to 140 GHz
- - Effective Directivity: 30 dB
- - Dynamic range: 120 dB
- - Impedance: 50 Ohm
The system can be used for a variety of applications including antenna range measurements, material characterization, wafer s-parameter measurements, automotive radar & sensor testing, etc.
If you want to consult with our engineers about your specific application, please Ask an Engineer.
Every CMT VNA includes an RF measurement module and software application which runs on a Windows PC, laptop, or tablet, connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. Software can be installed on multiple computers that share the use of the analyzer measurement module. Test Automation programming in LabView, Python, MATLAB, .NET, etc.
