  CobaltFx Vector Network Analyzer

CobaltFx VNAs  is the first mmWave frequency extension solution that utilizes a 9 GHz VNA. CobaltFx’s high dynamic range and directivity allow for highly accurate and stable millimeter-wave S-parameter measurements in three dedicated waveguide bands 50-75 GHz, 60-90 GHz, and 75-110 GHz. CobaltFx offers an unparalleled combination of price, performance, flexibility and size.

C4209, the VNA used in this system, is from Copper Mountain Technologies’ industry leading Cobalt Series. It features fast sweep speeds down to 10 microseconds per point and a dynamic range of up to 160 dB, all comprised in a compact, USB form factor. C4209 works seamlessly with Farran Technology’s millimeter-wave FEV frequency extenders.

The extenders are packaged in small and versatile enclosures, that allow for flexible port arrangements with respect to the waveguide. Waveguide ports are manufactured in accordance to the new IEEE 1785a standard and ensure industry best alignment and repeatability of connection, allowing for long interval times between calibration. The system comes with a precision calibration kit containing flush short, offset piece and broadband load and allows for full 12-term port calibration.
