ACA-100 - Chamber Impedance Analyzer

The ACA-100 is a portable vector network analyzer for medium frequencies which enables you to do impedance measurements where ever you go. It supports the following three impedance measurement modes:

  1. Normal impedance/frequency mode.
  2. Real time impedance measurement mode at a specified frequency. (Data point)
  3. Impedance/Period mode at a specified frequency. (Network)

The ACA-100 is manufactured to the same robust and durable standard of all ADTEC's products. All the functions on the ACA-100 are controlled via the software and it has no internal adjustments. There are no trim pots or caps inside. All the calibration is done with the following software procedure.

This reduces maintenance costs because you do not need to return the unit for a yearly calibration. You only have to do the normal network analyzer calibration steps before you start.
