Copper Mountain USB Vector Network Analyzers

Copper Mountain Technologies is a US test and measurement company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, with an R&D and service centre in Cyprus and sales offices in Singapore, London and Miami. It pioneered metrology-grade USB vector network analyzers (VNAs) in 2011, moving the processing to a PC so that RF engineers get lab-grade measurements in compact, lower-cost hardware.

The line includes 1-port handheld reflectometers up to 14 GHz, TR, Value, Select and Advanced series 2-port VNAs up to 22 GHz, multiport VNAs with 6 to 16 ports, 75 Ohm solutions, compact SC series VNAs, and mmWave solutions with the BFx frequency extension base reaching 330 GHz. Software such as CMT VNA, S2 VNA and S4 VNA runs on Windows and Linux, with macOS for reflectometers, and includes advanced features without separate licences. Calibration kits, rentals, refurbished units and leasing are also offered.

• 1-port reflectometers: handheld USB VNAs up to 14 GHz such as the R140B.
• 2-port VNAs: TR, Value, Select and Advanced series up to 22 GHz.
• Multiport VNAs: 6 to 16 ports up to 9 GHz, plus a new 4-port 9 GHz model.
• mmWave: BFx frequency extension base for S-parameters up to 330 GHz.
• Cross-platform software: CMT VNA, S2 VNA and S4 VNA on Windows, Linux and macOS.
• Automation: programming examples in Python, MATLAB, C++ and Excel, plus LabVIEW drivers.

A Vietnamese telecom equipment maker can test antennas, filters and cables on production lines with multiport VNAs. A university RF lab can teach microwave measurement with USB VNAs and free software. A cable TV or broadband operator's supplier can verify 75 Ohm components.

USB VNAs cost less and take less space than traditional benchtop analyzers while delivering metrology-grade results. Advanced software features are included with no software licence required, and a free demo can be downloaded. The BFx base enables mmWave S-parameter measurements to 330 GHz for under 25,000 USD before extenders. Automation examples in Python, MATLAB, C++ and Excel support production test integration.

5G, satellite communications, automotive radar and IoT devices all need RF components and antennas characterised at higher frequencies, while factories want compact instruments for automated test. Vietnam's growing RF, telecom equipment and electronics assembly sector, served from the company's Singapore sales office, needs affordable VNAs for design labs and production lines.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, with an R&D and service centre in Cyprus and sales offices in Singapore, London and Miami. Pioneered metrology-grade USB VNAs in 2011. Exhibited at IMS 2026, SmallSat 2026 and EuMW 2026.
