Omicron-Lab: Vector Network Analyzer - Bode 100

Vector Network Analyser - Bode 100

You can only make as well as you can measure. - Joseph Whitworth, Engineer (19th century)

Overview

With the multifunctional Bode 100 you get an exact picture of your electronic circuits and components in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 50 MHz. Bode 100 is a state of the art Vector Network Analyzer which also works as Frequency Response Analyzer or Gain/Phase Meter and as a powerful Impedance Analyzer.

With it's high accuracy and great price-performance ratio, the Bode 100 is the best choice for industrial applications as well as research and educational labs.

Applications

Use Bode 100 to measure:

Complex gain of active and passive circuits
Complex impedance and admittance of active and passive devices
Swept S-parameters of electronic circuits and filters
Group delay characteristics

Easily analyze:

Stability of control circuits such as DC/DC converters in power supplies
Parasitics of passive components and circuit boards
Power-plane impedance for optimum decoupling
Reflection coefficient and return loss of filters, antennas or amplifiers
Ultrasonic and piezo electric devices
Resonance behavior of high Q-circuits like oscillating crystals
Resonance frequency and Q-factor of RFID and NFC tags and antennas

User Interface

Bode Analyzer Suite

The Bode 100 is controlled via the Bode Analyzer Suite software, a powerful GUI for Windows PCs. Find out more or download the latest version from our webpage.

Automation

Some measurements have to be repeated over and over again ...

... therefore we added an Automation Interface to the Bode 100 right from the beginning. Today many customers are already using this Application Programming Interface (API) to build automated measurement setups involving the Bode 100. The Bode 100 can be controlled from any COM (OLE controller) compliant programming language such as:

MATLAB®
C#
VB.NET
Excel® with VBA
C++
TCL
Python®
Delphi®
etc...

Find out more about the Bode Automation Interface by having a look at the Automation Interface Reference. The Automation Interface is included in the Bode Analyzer Suite installer. Check out the Bode 100 download area.

In addition there is a LabVIEW® instrument driver available for download from www.ni.com.

Certificates

The Bode 100 complies with the current international standards for EMC, RoHS and product safety. For detailed information, please check out the certificate (TÜV) as well as the declaration of conformity (CE and UKCA) below:
