CobaltFx mmWave Frequency Extension Solution (FEV)

Colbalt Fx is the first mmWave frequency solution that utilizes a  9GHz VNA.  ColbaltFx's high dynamic range and directivity allow for  highly accurate and stable millimeter-wave S-parameter measurements in  three dedicated waveguide bands 50-75GHz, 60-90GHz, and 75-110GHz.   

CobaltFx offers an unparalled combination of price, performance,  flexibility and size.

C4209, the VNA used in this system is from Copper Mountain  Technologies industry leading Cobalt Series. It features fast sweep  speeds down to 10 microseconds per point and a dynamic range if up to  160 dB, alll comprised in a compact, USB form factor.  C4209 works seamlessly with Farran Technology's millitmeter-wave FEV frequency  extenders.

The extenders are packaged in a small and versatile enclosures, that  allow for flexible port arrangements with respect to the waveguide. Waveguide ports are manufactured in accordance to the new IEEE 1785  stanadard and ensure industrty best alignment and repeartability of the  connection, allowing for long interval times between calibration.  The  system comes with a precision calibration kit, containing a flush short,  offset piece and broadband load and allows for full 12-term port  calibration.
