Multiport network analysis system for MIMO and 5G
RNVNA links up to 16 analyzers together into a multiport network analysis system, allowing users to measure vector reflection and scalar transmission parameters in MIMO and 5G applications. RNVNA is compatible with all 1-Port USB VNAs with frequency ranges up to 6 GHz (R60), 14 GHz (R140), and 18 GHz (R180).
RNVNA software allows users to manage multiple 1-Port VNAs performing required measurements. A free demo version of the RNVNA software for systems using up to three 1-Port VNAs can be downloaded from www.coppermountaintech.com.
The RNVNA system incorporates shelving for mounting the VNAs. Each shelf is designed to fit a 19-inch rack mounting system and can house up to eight VNAs. Frequency and trigger synchronizing devices are offered as options to increase measurement speed.
RNVNA is an effective multiport analysis system for MIMO antenna arrays in applications such as manufacturing, 5G, and more.
“RNVNA users are able to measure resonance frequency and isolation in antenna arrays to confirm that their antenna setup is operating at the desired frequency range and achieving proper isolation,” said CMT co-founder Alex Goloschokin. “RNVNA is able to make these crucial measurements at a significantly faster speed than traditional multiport VNA solutions which require RF switch matrices to cover the extra ports.”
The R60 Vector Network Analyzer (cable and antenna analyzer) delivers lab grade performance in a handheld device. This patented analyzer can be connected directly to the antenna or other DUT without the need for a test cable, eliminating measurement uncertainties inherent to cables. This results in highly dependable performance and calibration stability.
The R60 VNA includes an RF measurement module and R software application which runs on Windows or Linux operating system on a PC, laptop, tablet, or x86 board computer connecting to the measurement hardware via USB interface. R software can be installed on multiple computers that share the use of the analyzer measurement module. The R60 network analyzer can be used in the field, in the laboratory, and in production testing. The VNA can be integrated into production test system via Manufacturing Test plugin.
The R140 and R-180 VNAs operate to 14 GHz and 18 GHz respectively.
