Planar 804/1 8 GHz Analyzer

The Planar 804/1 is an 8 GHz, full-size analyzer providing lab grade performance in a 19-inch chassis, including both 2-port configuration and direct receiver access. All devices are ATE compatible, rack mountable, and easy to program and share between multiple users. This full-size analyzer is designed for operation with any Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, or tablet, or x86 board computer. The free, lightweight VNA application connects to the 804/1 with a standard USB cable, creating a future-proof solution that significantly enhances ease of use compared with conventional instruments.

This full-size vector network analyzer with dimensions of 12.8″ x 16.3″ x 3.8″ (324 x 415 x 96 mm) and a weight of just 15.4 lbs (7 kg), can be used in the laboratory and in production testing, without requiring a lot of space. The VNA can be integrated into production test system via Manufacturing Test plug-in.

• Linear/logarithmic sweeps with multiple trace formats
• Power sweeps
• Time domain and gating conversion
• Frequency offset mode
• Fixture simulation (embedding/de-embedding)
• 16 independent channels with up to 16 traces each
• Markers with marker search tools and marker math, various conversion algorithms, and limit tests for pass/fail criteria, etc.
• Test Automation programming in LabView, Python, MATLAB, .NET, etc.

CMT’s Manufacturing Test plugin is available to integrate the VNA into your production test system.
