A logical channel is defined by such stimulus signal settings as frequency range, number of test points, or power level. Data traces Up to 8 data traces can be displayed in each channel window. A data trace represents one of such parameters of the DUT as S-parameters, response in time domain, or input power response. Memory traces Each of the 8 data traces can be saved into memory for further comparison with the current values. Data display formats Logarithmic magnitude, linear magnitude, phase, expanded phase, group delay, SWR, real part, imaginary part, Smith chart diagram and polar diagram display formats are available. Dynamic Range Typical dynamic range of 135 dB is achieved through the entire frequency range (at 10 Hz IF bandwidth). Seen here is the maximum dynamic range achieved when using IFBW 10 Hz and an output power level of 3 dBm. 4 Copper Mountain Technologies Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Sweep Features Sweep type Linear frequency sweep, logarithmic frequency sweep, and segment frequency sweep occur when the stimulus power is a fixed value. Linear power sweep occurs when frequency is a fixed value. Measured points per sweep Set by the user from 2 to 10,001. Segment sweep features A frequency sweep within several independent user-defined segments. Frequency range, number of sweep points, source power, and IF bandwidth should be set for each segment. Power Source power from –55 dBm to +3 dBm with resolution of 0.05 dB. In frequency sweep mode, the power slope can be set to up to 2 dB/GHz for compensation of high frequency attenuation in connection wires. Sweep trigger Trigger modes: continuous, single, or hold. Trigger sources: internal, manual, external, bus. Trace Functions Trace display Data trace, memory trace, or simultaneous indication of data and memory traces. Trace math Data trace modification by math operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division of measured complex values and memory data. Autoscaling Automatic selection of scale division and reference level value allow the most effective display of the trace. Electrical delay Calibration plane moving to compensate for the delay in the test setup. Compensation for electrical delay in a device under test (DUT) during measurements of deviation from linear phase. Phase offset Phase offset is defined in degrees. Copper Mountain Technologies 5 Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Frequency Scan Segmentation The VNA has a large frequency range with the option of frequency scan segmentation. This allows optimal use of the device, for example, to realize the maximum dynamic range while maintaining high measurement speed. Power Scanning and Compression Point Recognition The power sweep feature turns compression point recognition, one of the most fundamental and complex amplifier measurements, into a simple and accurate operation. 6 Copper Mountain Technologies Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Mixer/Converter Measurements Scalar mixer / converter measurements PLANAR TR1300/1 N ET W OR K ANALYZE R 0.3MHz-1.3 GHz PORT1 50 +26dBm RF 35V DC Max Avoid Static Discharge CAT I Mixer Under Test PORT2 50 The scalar method allows the user to measure only the magnitude of the transmission coefficient of the mixer and other frequency translating devices. No external mixers or other devices are required. The scalar method employs port frequency offset when there is a difference between the source port frequency and the receiver port frequency. Scalar mixer / converter calibration G This is the most accurate method of calibration applied for measurements of mixers in frequency offset mode. The OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD calibration standards are used. An external power meter should be connected to the USB port directly or via USB/GPIB adapter. Vector mixer / converter measurements The vector method allows the measurement of both the magnitude and phase of the mixer transmission coefficient. This method requires an external mixer and an LO common for both the external mixer and the mixer under test. Vector mixer /converter calibration This method of calibration is applied for vector mixer measurements. OPEN, SHORT and LOAD calibration standards are used. Automatic frequency offset adjustment The function performs automatic frequency offset adjustment when the scalar mixer / converter measurements are performed to compensate for internal LO setting inaccuracy in the DUT. Copper Mountain Technologies 7 Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Time Domain Measurements This function performs data transformation from frequency domain into response of the DUT to various stimulus types in time domain. Modeled stimulus types: bandpass, lowpass impulse, and lowpass step. Time domain span is set by the user arbitrarily from zero to maximum, which is determined by the frequency step. Windows of various forms are used for better tradeoff between resolution and level of spurious sidelobes. Here, built-in time domain analysis allows the user to detect a physical impairment in the antenna feeder. Time domain analysis allows measurement of parameters of SAW filters such as the signal time delay, feedthrough signal suppression. 8 Copper Mountain Technologies Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Time Domain Gating This function mathematically removes unwanted responses in the time domain, which allows the user to obtain frequency response without influence from fixture elements. This function applies reverse transformation back to the frequency domain after cutting out the user-defined span in time domain. Gating filter types: bandpass or notch. For a better tradeoff between gate resolution and level of spurious sidelobes the following filter shapes are available: maximum, wide, normal and minimum. Applications of these features include, but are not limited to: measurement of SAW filter parameters, such as filter time delay or forward transmission attenuation. Limit Testing Limit testing is a function of automatic pass/fail judgment for the trace of the measurement results. The judgment is based on the comparison of the trace to the limit line set by the user and can consist of one or several segments. Each segment checks the measurement value for failing either the upper or lower limit, or both. The limit line segment is defined by specifying the coordinates of the beginning (X0, Y0) and the end (X1, Y1) of the segment, and type of the limit. The MAX or MIN limit types check if the trace falls outside of the upper or lower limit, respectively. Copper Mountain Technologies 9 Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Embedding This function allows the user to mathematically simulate DUT parameters by virtually integrating a fixture circuit between the calibration plane and the DUT. This circuit should be described by an S-parameter matrix in a Touchstone file. De-Embedding This function allows the user to mathematically exclude the effect of the fixture circuit connected between the calibration plane and the DUT from the measurement results. This circuit should be described by an S-parameter matrix in a Touchstone file. 10 Copper Mountain Technologies Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Port Impedance Conversion This function converts the S-parameters measured at the 50 port into values, which could be determined if measured at a test port with arbitrary impedance. S-Parameter Conversion The function allows conversion of the measured S-parameters to the following parameters: reflection impedance and admittance, inverse S-parameters, and conjugation. Copper Mountain Technologies 11 Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Data Output Analyzer State All state, calibration and measurement data can be saved to an Analyzer state file on the hard disk and later uploaded back into the software program. The following three types of saving are available: State, Calibration, and State & Calibration. The program allows the user to save the current state configuration for further recall. A state configuration includes signal source parameters, data traces, memory traces, markers, calibration, etc. Trace Data CSV File The Analyzer allows the use to save an individual trace data as a CSV file (comma separated values). The active trace stimulus and response values in current format are saved to *.CSV file. Only one trace data are saved to the file. Trace Data Touchstone File The Analyzer allows the user to save S-parameters to a Touchstone file. The Touchstone file contains the frequency values and S-parameters. The files of this format are typical for most of circuit simulator programs. The *.s2p files are used for saving the S11 and S21 parameters of a 2-port, 1-path device. The *.s1p files are used for saving S11 and S22 parameters of a 1-port device. Only one (active) trace data are saved to the file. The Touchstone file saving function is applied to individual active channels. 12 Copper Mountain Technologies Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Screenshot capture The print function is provided with the preview feature, which allows the user to view the image to be printed on the screen, and/or save it to a file. Screenshots can be printed using three different applications: MS Word, Image Viewer for Windows, or the Print Wizard of the Analyzer. Each screenshot can be printed in color, grayscale, black and white, or inverted for visibility or ink use. The current date and time can be added to each capture before it is transferred to the printing application, resulting in quick and easy test reporting. Measurement Automation COM/DCOM compatible Planar TR1300/1 software is COM/DCOM compatible, which allows the unit to be used as a part of an ATE station and other special applications. COM/DCOM automation is used for remote control and data exchange with the user software. The Analyzer program runs as COM/DCOM server. The user program runs as COM/DCOM client. The COM client runs on Analyzer PC. The DCOM client runs on a separate PC connected via LAN. LabView compatible The device and its software are fully compatible with LabView applications, for ultimate flexibility in user-generated programming and automation. Copper Mountain Technologies 13 Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Accuracy Enhancement Calibration One-path two-port calibration Calibration of a test setup (which includes the VNA, cables, and adapters) significantly increases the accuracy of measure-ments. Calibration allows for correction of the errors caused by imperfections in the measurement system: system directivity, source and load match, tracking and isolation. Method of calibration performed for reflection and one-way transmission measurements, for example for measuring S11 and S21 only. It ensures high accuracy for reflection measure-ments, and mean accuracy for transmission measurements. Calibration methods The user can select one of the predefined calibration kits of various manufacturers or define own calibration kits. The following calibration methods of various sophistication and accuracy enhancement level are available: reflection and transmission normalization full one-port calibration one-path two-port calibration Reflection and transmission normalization This is the simplest calibration method; however, it provides reasonably low accuracy compared to other methods. Factory calibration The factory calibration of Planar TR1300/1 allows for reduction of measurement error in reflection and transmission normalization. Full one-port calibration Method of calibration performed for one-port reflection measurements. It ensures high accuracy. 14 Copper Mountain Technologies Mechanical Calibration Kits Electronic Calibration Modules Electronic, or automatic, calibration modules offered by CMT make the analyzer calibration faster and easier than traditional mechanical calibration. Defining calibration standards Different methods of calibration standard defining are available: standard defining by polynomial model standard defining by data (S-parameters) Error correction interpolation When the user changes any settings such as the start/stop frequencies and number of sweep points, compared to the settings at the moment of calibration, interpolation or extrapolation of the calibration coefficients will be applied. Planar TR1300/1 VNA | Data Sheet Supplemental Calibration Methods Power calibration Power calibration allows more stable maintainance of the power level setting at the DUT input.
