Copper
Mountain Technologies (CMT) has produced a series of videos to help users of
its diverse line of vector network analyzers (VNAs) get the most out of their extensive
capabilities. Proprietary features in both hardware and software supplies VNAs designed
by CMT with capabilities far beyond similar equipment by other companies. This video
entitled, "In-Circuit Antenna Verification," is one of a series of
videos that can be found on the Copper Mountain Technologies
website.
Brian Walker, Senior RF Design Engineer at Copper Mountain Technologies,
shows how there can be significant variation of performance of a PCB mounted
antenna when it is close enough to other objects to disturb the near field
response. It is best to measure the return loss of an embedded antenna in its
final configuration and be prepared to add matching elements to improve
radiation efficiency. Careful consideration of the location of the calibration
plane of a vector network analyzer measurement is important to derive matching
circuit element values.

About Copper Mountain Technologies
Copper
Mountain Technologies develops innovative RF test and measurement solutions
for engineers all over the world. The company's headquarters is in Indianapolis
with sales offices in Singapore and Miami. The company pioneered metrology-grade
USB VNAs in 2011 and continues to push for innovation and change in the industry
to ensure engineers have access to the best technology. CMT achieved ISO 9001:2015
certification in 2019. The calibration lab in the USA is accredited in accordance
with the recognized international standard ISO/IEC 17025 (2017) and meets all requirements
of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1994-1. All CMT VNAs include application and automation support,
and years of our engineering expertise at your disposal.
Copper Mountain Technologies provides a broad range of USB vector network analyzers,
calibration kits, and accessories for 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm impedance. CMT VNAs are
used for RF and Microwave applications from 9 kHz to 110 GHz by engineers in industries
like defense, automotive, materials measurement, medical, broadcasting, and telecommunications.
Copper Mountain Technologies' VNAs include an RF measurement module and a software
application which runs on any Windows PC, laptop or tablet, connecting to the measurement
hardware via USB interface. The user can take advantage of the latest OS, processing
power, larger display, and reliable performance of an external PC, as well as lower
total cost of ownership and simplified maintenance of the analyzer. The result is
a faster, more effective test process that fits into the modern workspace in lab,
production, field and secure testing environments. This creative approach made Copper
Mountain Technologies a leader in the industry and earned them both the 2015 Frost &
Sullivan Global Leadership in Innovation Award and the 2017 Product Leadership Award.
