Rental Exclusive: C1420 4-Port 20 GHz Vector Network Analyzer
This product is available for rental only. Copper Mountain Technologies announced an End-of-Sale (EOS) for the C1420 4-Port 20 GHz VNA. This product is no longer available for purchase, and is now exclusively available to rent, as of May 31, 2025. We will provide service and repair for owners of this instrument for a minimum of 3 years from the EOS date or based on parts availability. The replacement for this model is the C1409 2-Port 9 GHz VNA.
C1420 Vector Network Analyzer delivers industry-leading dynamic range and sweep speed, with all the features engineers have come to expect included standard in our software.
This “full rack” vector network analyzer with dimensions of 23.6″ x 17.3″ x 5.5″ (600 x 440 x 140 mm) and a weight of just 48.5 lbs. (22 kg), can be used in the laboratory and in production testing, without requiring a lot of space. The VNA can be integrated into production test system via Manufacturing Test Plug-in.

If you want to consult with our engineers about your specific application, please Ask an Engineer.
The C1420 VNAs come with all the software features engineers have come to expect, at no additional cost. Standard software features include:
- Linear/logarithmic sweeps with multiple trace formats
- Power sweeps
- Time domain and gating conversion
- Frequency offset mode
- Fixture simulation (embedding/de-embedding)
- 16 independent channels with up to 16 traces each
- Markers with marker search tools and marker math, various conversion algorithms, and limit tests for pass/fail criteria, etc.
- Test Automation programming in LabView, Python, MATLAB, .NET, etc.
CMT’s Manufacturing Test plugin is available to integrate the VNA into your production test system.
