The Bode 500 Solution
The Bode 500 is the most powerful analyzerfrom OMICRON Lab. Its ultra-wide frequency range enables precise measurements from 10 mHz* up to 450 MHz.
The Bode 500 offers high linearity and a high dynamic range of > 120 dB to enable accurate vector network analysis, frequency response analysis, and impedance measurements. The switchable inputs provide 50 Ω termination and a high impedance setting with ac-coupled 1 MΩ for measurements on active systems and the use with external probes.
With 66 dB of dynamic range on the output and a maximum power level of 16 dBm, the analyzer offers enough signal injection power for loop gain and output impedance measurements on switching converters and power distribution networks (PDN). These capabilities make the Bode 500 the instrument of choice for power integrity verifications and loop stability measurements.
The Bode 500 consists of hardware and software. The high quality hardware ensures accurate measurement results in the wide frequency range from mHz to 450 MHz. Its portable and compact design enables you to test wherever you want. Due to the versatile system design, the Bode 500 works as three devices in one.
