TE1000 Vector RF Impedance Analyzer
The TOMCO TE1000 vector impedance
analyzer is a versatile, portable test instrument which enables the user to make highly accurate impedance measurements through VHF RF frequencies.
The TE1000 has full vector measurement capability, and accurately resolves the resistive,capacitive and inductive components of a load. The user can display the vector impedance plus a range of related parameters including SWR, reflection coefficient, return loss and R-L-C equivalent circuit.
The TE1000 is ideally suited for precision bench testing and development,
making it a superior alternative to portable SWR meters and antenna testers
which can only provide a fraction of this information.
The TE1000 impedance analyzer operates from 0.5-150MHz. It also includes a general purpose RF test signal output across this frequency range. The lab precision unit is rugged, lightweight and can be powered by mains or by internal battery making it ideally suited for both benchtop and portable use. An internal data display provides stand alone visual output. The unit's RS232/USB interface and PC based software further increase the power of the instrument. These features provide swept frequency capability and facilities for complex data analysis, data logging and graphical display on a convenient laptop or other computer. The TE-1000 is supplied in a lightweight, rugged aluminum case.
TE1000 Testing a TOMCO Atmospheric Radar System
The TE1000 offers similar functionality and comparable accuracy over its range as the HP/Agilent 4193A and other "high end" lab instruments, at a fraction of the cost.
Among the features the TE1000 offers are:
-
powerful built-in computational capabilities allow the TE-1000 to display a wider range of parameters: not just impedance, but also reflection coefficient, series or parallel R-L-C equivalent circuit, SWR and return loss
-
sophisticated built-in algorithms eliminate contamination of measurements due to stray reactances in the probe
-
vector quantities can be displayed in polar or rectangular coordinates
-
swept frequency measurements and data logging via a simple serial or USB interface (software supplied)
-
sophisticated, user friendly software to log and display data in a range of plots including Smith charts
-
accuracy equal to or better than HP/Agilent 4193A for comparable function
-
range of adaptors available allowing the probe to connect directly to N-type connectors or to surface mount components via tweezer adaptor
-
calibration certificate
-

TE1000 with Laptop PC Display for RF Circuit Tuning
The broad capabilities of the TE-1000 RF impedance analyzer enable this versatile RF test equipment to function as a vector impedance meter, capacitance meter, inductance bridge (replacing Delta OIB-3 and General Radio 1606 RF bridges), antenna analyzer, VSWR meter, and return loss bridge.
How the TE-1000 Works
The TE1000 RF Impedance Analyzer operates by generating an RF signal at a user defined frequency in the range 500kHz to 150MHz, and injecting it into the load at the probe tip. The resultant RF voltage and current are sampled and measured, and from this the unit calculates the complex impedance of the load. Once the complex impedance is known, the VSWR, reflection coefficient, R-L-C equivalent circuit and return loss can also be determined. The user selects which measurement is to be displayed and in which format. The impedance can be displayed in rectangular or polar format. The R-L-C equivalent circuit can be displayed as either a series or parallel circuit.
There are 2 basic modes of operation. In fixed frequency mode one frequency only is selected by the user. In scan mode the user can scan sequentially through a range of frequencies. The scan mode is particularly useful for locating resonances such as in a quarter wave line or a crystal.
The TE1000 can be controlled either via the keypads on the front panel or remotely from a PC using the RS232 serial line and control software. The PC software can be used to log data from the TE1000 and store this in a format which is compatible with MS Excel.
Typical applications include:
- RF engineering design and development
- AM, MW, HF, shortwave antenna and transmitter tests
- FM and TV transmitter and antenna tests
- Transmission line impedance matching
- Production line component tests
- TDR and FDR Cable fault finding
- RF filter and balun design and test
- NMR and MRI testing
- Cutting cables to precise electrical lengths
