Thursday, March 10, 2022 · 10:00 AM ESTAutomatic Fixture Removal (AFR) is an intuitive software plug-in that is used to accurately measure hard-to-access devices, such as SMD-sized components mounted on a fixture by de-embedding the fixture effects. The AFR VNA software plug-in enables...
-
Wednesday, February 23, 2022 · 10:00 AM ESTRadomes can experience defects due to wear or impact events that degrade both mechanical and electromagnetic performance. Traditional radome testing often resorts to the crude "tap test" where an operator listens for sound changes with a tapping c...
-
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 · 1:00 PM ESTIt is an unfortunate reality in some cases that after spending a lot of valuable time making measurements with a VNA, it is determined later that you cannot use the data because your cables were faulty or a port was broken.
During this webinar, ... -
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 · 10:00 AM ESTWe will discuss how to setup and automate VNA measurements for mass production tests.
-
Wednesday, November 10, 2021 · 1:00 PM EST12 Term error correction may seem daunting, but it isn't terribly difficult to understand. The mathematics are not as neat as the 1-port model but are not impossible to deal with in Python or some other programming language. This webinar will atte...
-
Wednesday, October 13, 2021 · 1:00 PM EDTIn this webinar we will discuss advanced calibration features, such as de-embedding. A VNA demonstration will be used to illustrate these features.
-
Thursday, September 16, 2021 · 10:00 AM EDTTime Domain Measurement and the Time Domain post processing feature come standard on all of Copper Mountain Technologies' VNAs, except for the Compact Series M50** VNAs. This powerful technique allows for the evaluation of Return Loss over distanc...
