Copper Mountain Technologies develops innovative RF test and measurement solutions for engineers worldwide. Our development and applications support teams create solutions that enable RF and Microwave engineers to extend their reach through access to lab-grade instruments at affordable prices. Our world-class metrology and engineering resources work as an extension of your team. Copper Mountain Technologies is based in Indianapolis, IN, with an R&D office and service center in Cyprus, and sales offices in Singapore, London, and Miami.
Copper Mountain Technologies provides vector network analyzers for thousands of clients in close to 100 countries around the world. Our VNAs include an RF measurement module and a software application that runs on an external PC laptop or tablet, and connects to the measurement hardware via USB interface. Users can take advantage of the latest operating systems, processing power, larger displays, and reliable performance of an external PC while realizing a lower total cost of ownership and simplified maintenance. The result is a faster, more effective test process that fits into the modern workspace.
Check out this demo of a modular 5.5-GHz, 2-port VNA that uses time-domain measurements to peer inside of structural elements to find items such as rebar in concrete.
