Vector Network Analyzer Bode 100

The solution for your measurement tasks from 1 Hz to 50 MHz

Bode 100

The Bode 100 consists of hardware and software. The high quality hardware ensures accurate measurement results in the wide frequency range from 1 Hz to 50 MHz. Its portable and compact design enables you to test wherever you want. Due to the versatile system design, the Bode 100 works as three devices in one:

1. Vector Network Analyzer

The vector network analyzer function of the Bode 100 allows you to measure:

• Swept S-parameters in the 50Ω  system
• Reflection coefcient and return loss
• Insertion loss of filters
• Group delay characteristics
• Influence of termination on amplifiers

2. Frequency Response Analyzer

The Bode 100 serves as a Gain/Phase meter and is ideally suited to measure:

• Transfer functions of electronic circuits
• Stability of control systems such as DC/DCconverters
• Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) respectively Audio Suspectibility

3. Impedance Analyzer

The Bode 100 o ers you a high variety of impedance measurement possibilities to
easily analyze:

• Electromagnetic devices such as transformers and inductors
• Capacitors and their parasitics
• Ultrasonic and piezo electric components or systems
• Very high Q-circuits such as quartz cristals and oscillators
• Input- and output impedance of electronic circuits

Your benefits:

• One device for multiple applications
• Accurate measurement results
• Simple setup - fast results
• Easy data processing

Bode Analyzer Suite

You can fully control the Bode 100 via the Bode Analyzer Suite (BAS). The BAS is an easy to use, intuitive user interface, which is included in the Bode 100 delivery. It allows you to control the Bode 100 hardware from your Windows®1 PC. The BAS helps you to quickly measure and analyze your device under test. In addition, it o ers great functions to document and share your measurement results.

Measurement

Pre-defined measurement modes allow you to switch quickly between different measurements and ensure that the hardware is always preset correctly. To understand and optimize your system under test, the BAS o ers all kind of chart formats, like Smith, Polar, Nyquist and Bode plots. You can extract all required results and parameters from your measurements using a great variety of analysis features.

Documentation

The BAS help you to easily extract the measurement results for your documentation. You can share and archive your results by:
• Copying and pasting the results, charts and settings into your documents.
• Generating a print report containing all measurement graphs and device settings.
• Saving your entire measurement including the device settings to a *.bodex fi le which can be viewed on any Windows®1 PC having the Bode Analyzer Suite installed.

Integration and Automation

Easily automate your measurements by controlling the Bode 100 via its Automation Interface using:
• OLE compliant controllers such as VBA (e.g. Excel®1), Matlab®2, LabVIEW3,...
• Programming languages like Visual Basic®1, C#®1, C++ or any other COM+ compatible system/language
