R54 1-Port VNA (Reflectometer)
Copper Mountain Technologies is announcing an End-of-Sale (EOS) for the R54 1-Port VNA. This product is no longer available for purchase as of December 31, 2019. We will provide service and repair for this instrument for a minimum of 3 years from the purchase date and based on parts availability afterwards. The recommended replacement for the R54 is the R60 1-Port Vector Network Analyzer.
R54 Vector Network Analyzer (cable and antenna analyzer) delivers lab grade performance in a handheld device. This patented (US Patent 9,291,657) analyzer can be connected directly to the antenna or other DUT without the need for a test cable, eliminating measurement uncertainties inherent to cables. Resulting in highly dependable performance and calibration stability. The 1-Port VNA comes with all the features engineers have come to expect included standard in our software.
The R54 VNA includes an RF measurement module and RVNA software application which runs on Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. RVNA software can be installed on multiple computers that share the use of the analyzer measurement module. The R54 network analyzer can be used in the field, in the laboratory, and in production testing. The VNA can be integrated into production test system via Manufacturing Test plug-in.
VNAs and ACMs are delivered with factory calibration certificates containing no data. The add-on option for ISO17025/Z540-1 Accredited, Traceable Calibration Certificate and Uncertainties is available and needs to be specified at time of order.
Due to its measurement accuracy, ultra-compact size and elimination of a test cable, the R54 cable and antenna analyzer (reflectometer) can be used for antennas and antenna feeders in the field, 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.
View our Applications page to see how CMT VNAs are already extending the reach of engineers in many industries and applications.
