The TE1000 impedance analyzer is a versatile, portable test instrument which enables the user to make highly accurate impedance measurements at 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. These features make the TE1000 ideally suited for precision bench testing and development while also making it a superior alternative to portable SWR meters and antenna testers which can only provide a fraction of this information at much reduced accuracy

The TE1000 impedance analyzer operates from 0.5-150MHz . The unit is rugged, lightweight and can be powered by mains or by internal battery making it ideally suited for both benchtop and portable use. The unit's RS232 interface and PC based software further increase the power of the instrument , by providing swept frequency capability and facilities for complex data analysis, data logging and graphical display. The TE1000 is supplied in a lightweight, rugged aluminium case.

Our product offers similar functionality as the HP/Agilent 4193A with comparable accuracy and many additional features at a fraction of the cost. The TE1000 offers:-

• complete portability with the option of operating on batteries or plugpack
• powerful built-in computational capabilities allow the TE1000 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 automatically compensate for 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 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
• range of adaptors available allowing the probe to connect directly to N-type connectors or to surface mount components via tweezer adaptor
• calibration certificate available

The TE1000 RF impedance analyzer is also referred to as a vector impedance meter and a capacitance meter
