The Compact Series of Vector Network Analyzers (X1218) measures complex transmission and reflection coefficients (S-parameters) of DUTs. The X1218 model is the newest addition to our compact series. It is used for testing, tuning, and developing devices in both manufacturing and laboratory settings as part of automated measurement setups.
The X1218 Vector Network Analyzer supports pulse mode measurements (PLS-X software option).
The device features an embedded pulse modulator capable of generating pulse signals with a minimum duration of 200 ns, along with a synchronizer and logic generators that enable various pulse measurement modes: «Point-in-pulse», «Pulse Profile», and «Asynchronous Pulse». The minimum time resolution in the Pulse Profile mode is 2 µs.
The analyzer is controlled by an external PC running dedicated software, which processes information and provides GUI.
Software
The analyzers are controlled by the 2X-VNA program from an external PC running dedicated software, which processes information and provides GUI. A USB 2.0 interface is used to communicate with the PC.
