FAST AND EASY MEASUREMENTS WITH THE BODE 100
With the multifunctional Bode 100 you get an exact picture of your electronic circuits and components in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 50 MHz. The Bode 100 is not only a state of the art Vector Network Analyzer, it also works as:
  • Frequency Response Analyzer
  • Impedance Meter
  • Gain Phase Meter
  • Sine Wave Generator
Accurate and compact with an unbeatable price-performance ratio, it is the best choice for industrial applications as well as research and educational labs.
The Bode 100 VNA is the perfect tool for application fields like production, research and development, educational institutions as well as service and maintenance. The compact hardware is controlled from the easy-to-use and intuitive Bode Analyzer Suite via USB.
 
MEASURING ON THE GO
The lightweight and portable hardware design combined with the Bode Analyzer Suite for Windows guarantee a very easy and user friendly handling of the Bode 100. Moreover, an OLE automation interface allows integrating the Bode 100 in any automated system.

CALIBRATION
Calibration is performed as part of the manufacturing process. Factory calibration includes adjustment and calibration of the device and can be repeated anytime. The calibration includes a 6-month warranty renewal. Please ask for ISO 9001 Calibration and Inspection (Order number: P0005784). Every unit comes with a calibration certificate free of charge. The certificate is included in the delivery of a new device and after a repeated calibration. For information on Calibration, please see this page.
