Copper Mountain Technologies has introduced a new SN0904 4-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), designed to simplify the characterization and validation of multi-port RF components and systems by providing comprehensive 4-port S-parameter measurements in a compact, high-performance instrument. Designed for demanding RF and microwave applications, the new 4-port VNA delivers full matrix characterization, providing engineers with deeper insight into complex multi-port devices and systems. Its architecture is optimized for precision, efficiency, and scalability in modern RF test environments.
The new SN0904 4-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) enables complete 4-port S-parameter characterization without the need to reconnect the device under test or perform multiple two-port measurements. This streamlined approach improves measurement efficiency, enhances repeatability, and simplifies automated test workflows, making the SN0904 well-suited for RF component manufacturing and engineering applications across telecommunications, automotive, IoT, aerospace, medical devices, defense, and quantum computing research. Common applications include:
- Differential and high-speed signal integrity measurements
- Phased array and beamforming systems
- RF switches and multi-port device characterization
- MIMO and wireless infrastructure testing
The maximum software capabilities come standard and are available without a paid license for all customers. They include linear and logarithmic sweeps, power sweeps, and time-domain conversion with gating. SCPI Automation is supported through LabVIEW, C+++, VBA, Python, MATLAB, .NET, and other programming environments, and a Manufacturing Test Plug-in is available as an add-on to support incorporating VNA software into existing automated manufacturing and QA processes.
