Used ADVANTEST R9211C #9154177 for sale

ADVANTEST R9211C is an integrated, high-performance and cost-effective, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) designed for testing of active and passive RF and microwave components, particularly antennas. It features a broad frequency range of 0.13 to 67GHz and offers the highest resolution of 1.7dB for up to 117 frequency points. It is highly suitable for applications related to research &development, production and screening of components, and characterization of alarm & detection systems. R9211C utilizes a patented Octagonal Multi-Reflection Measurement (MRM) technique that enables accurate and stable measurements within a few minutes while bypassing the traditional measurement speed limitations. The new multi-reflection measurement method greatly reduces the measurement set-up time and determines S-parameters with far less measurement setup components than conventional 4-port systems. It ensures highly accurate RF and microwave measurements performance utilizing the Zero-Calibration feature and an internal reference standard which eliminates the need of an external calibration kits used in traditional systems. It reduces measurement errors caused by recirculating waveforms caused by long test cables. ADVANTEST R9211C features a direct phase-calibrated port for phase-stable measurements reducing measurement time and drift associated with flex cable and standard coax phase variation. It also has a fully automated calibration with dynamic ratio choice (DRC) algorithm which shortens process time and enhances stability. R9211C also has low noise floor(Typ. -157dB at 1GHz), high dynamic range (Typ. 158dB at 1GHz), and excellent frequency response linearity making it ideal for characterization and measurements of RF systems. The rotary switch feature provides easy "one-pass" calibration across entire frequency range by applying the same compensations to all switch positions. ADVANTEST R9211C is bundled with Windows 10 based software which provides a GUI for user interaction, leveraging a 32 inch monitor with optional joystick. The software is highly customizable with options such as measurement manager, automated insights, trace compare, and waveforms library. The software also automates and stores measurement results in a standard database format for easy reporting, and remote access is available for remote operations. To summarize, R9211C is an integrated, high-performance and cost-effective test solution designed for testing and characterizing of passive and active RF and microwave components. With its broad frequency range, high resolution, Octagonal MRM technique, low noise floor, and Windows 10 based software, this instrument is ideal for a wide range of RF device applications.
