The ACM4520 is a four-port automatic calibration module designed for use with Copper Mountain Technologies vector network analyzers, operating from 100 kHz to 20 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance. It features male or female type N or 3.5 mm connectors, USB 2.0 interface with USBTMC-USB488 support, and consumes 0.4 W of power. The device measures 110 mm in length and 89 mm in width without protective housing, and 98 mm in length and 89 mm in width with housing, standing 27 mm high. It weighs 0.8 kg without and 0.9 kg with the protective housing. Operating temperature ranges from +5 °C to +40 °C, with storage from -50 °C to +70 °C. Maximum input power is 0 dBm, with a damage threshold of +18 dBm and maximum DC voltage of 10 V. Thermal compensation and up to three user-defined characterizations enhance calibration accuracy and adaptability with fixtures.
ACM4520 is an automatic calibration module that can be used with all CMT Vector Network Analyzers operating in frequency range up to 20 GHz. It is a fully automatic USB-controlled and powered electronic calibration module. Minimizing the number of steps required by technicians reduces the risk of human error and expedites the calibration process. Automating the calibration routine also reduces wear and tear on the analyzer and RF cables. To perform full two-port calibration, each end of the ACM need only be connected to the analyzer once, as opposed to 18 connections with a traditional calibration. The ACM also contains a factory characterized 20dB in-line attenuator which acts as a simulated device under test (DUT). The confidence check feature loads the factory-stored DUT into memory so proper calibration can be verified. The ACM4520 comes with a protective shroud to prevent the device from being damaged.
