This “half rack” vector network analyzer with dimensions of 16.75 x 9.25 x 3.8 inches (425 x 235 x 96 mm) and a weight of just over 12 lbs. (5.5 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 systems via a Manufacturing Test Plug-in. An Auxiliary Board Option is available on all Cobalt VNAs at the time of order (factory-installed) or as an add-on at a later date.
The C1209 VNA includes an RF measurement module and S2 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.
