VNA 101 Bootcamp Webinar Series - Copper Mountain Technologies

VNA 101 BOOTCAMP WEBINAR SERIES

Copper Mountain Technologies’ VNA 101 Bootcamp Webinar Series features basic technical content regarding various aspects of VNA use. This series combines valuable RF theory with relevant measurement demonstrations to provide a complete understanding of beginning VNA topics. Viewer submitted questions are answered throughout each webinar. If you have content you’d like to have covered for a specific session, please submit your content idea in the form below.

Introduction to Multiport Measurements

Multiport measurements are important for a number of applications. 5G MIMO beamforming systems, for instance, require the measurement and evaluation of the phase and amplitude of multiple signal outputs simultaneously. This webinar will demonstrate a multiport measurement from setup to final results.

VNA Measurement Techniques for Antenna Test

A Copper Mountain Technologies' VNA can make antenna measurements easy. If a pair of antennas must be measured at close range, a simple 2-port measurement can be made.

Best Practices for RF Fixture Design

While Copper Mountain Technologies is not a fixture design company, we want to share what we have learned about fixtures to help you with yours. Join this webinar to learn the best practices for fixture design.

Software Tips and Tricks (Measuring Impedance, Calibration, Time Domain Measurements)

During this session, we will review some important aspects of the software in more detail to help users understand how to get the most out of the software.

Fixture Requirements to Accurately De-Embed DUTs from VNA Measurements

During this webinar, we will review the possible pitfalls during de-embedding and measurement of a DUT on a fixture.

Using VNAs for High-Speed Digital Applications

This webinar will address some of these issues and show how a VNA might be used to analyze and improve a high-speed digital design.

Starter mmWave Measurements with Eravant

See Eravant’s VNA frequency extenders and their ability to perform full two-port S-parameter measurements of mmWave components.

De-embedding Fixture Effects from VNA Measurements

During this webinar, we will demonstrate using the software plug-in with the different methods available for de-embedding fixture effects.

Best Practices for VNA Test Set-up

During this webinar, we walk through the best practices to follow when setting up a VNA test.

How to Automate Measurements

We will discuss how to automate CMT VNAs, differences between COM & SCPI and run examples in various environments.

Basics of a VNA

In this webinar, we looked at the basics of a Vector Network Analyzer, its architecture and some of its applications.

Importance of Calibration

In this webinar, we will discuss various types of calibration techniques and its effects and have a live demo with a VNA.

Mass Production Testing with a VNA

We will discuss how to set up and automate VNA measurements for mass production tests.

Typical VNA Measurements

During the webinar, we will look at typical RF device measurements with a vector network analyzer and will demonstrate with a CMT VNA the common measurement types.

Advanced Calibration Techniques

In this webinar, we discussed advanced calibration features, such as de-embedding. A VNA demonstration is used to illustrate these features.
