B-TCA Test Card Adapter
B-TCA
The B-TCA test card adapter is a test fixture designed to simplify the frequency response analysis of surface mount components using Bode 500 or Bode 100. It enables simple impedance and S-Parameter measurements over a very wide frequency range up to 450 MHz.
- Impedance or S11 reflection via the One-port measurement setup
- Two-port impedance measurements (Shunt-Thru, Series-Thru, Shunt-Thru with Rs)
- S21 Transmission via a Two-port measurement setup
Use the B-TCA
- Analyze impedance of surface-mount components from DC to 450 MHz
- Easily measure impedance from mΩ to MΩ
- Simplify connection of SMD components to your Bode 100 or Bode 500 vector network analyzer
Key Features
- Optimized for precise impedance and S-parameter measurements of passive electronic surface-mount components
- Card edge connector for quick card exchange and easy use
- Dedicated calibrator (Open/Short/Load) for each measurement setup
- Type N connectors for highest connection repeatability to your Bode 500
Technical Data
B-TCA Test Card Replacement Sets
The standard delivery of B-TCA includes eight test cards for DUT soldering and one calibrator for each measurement setup (Shunt-Thru, Series-Thru, One-Port and Shunt-Thru with Rs). The test cards can be re-used multiple times but sometimes, eight test cards might not be enough. Therefore, an optional test card set is available for the B-TCA:
| Optional Test Card Set | Order Number | Includes |
| Test Card Set – Shunt-Thru | P0011462 | 32 x Test Card for Shunt-Thru (4 x 8 pcs) 1 x Calibrator for Shunt-Thru |
| Test Card Set – Series-Thru | P0011464 | 32 x Test Card for Series-Thru (4 x 8 pcs) 1 x Calibrator for Series-Thru |
| Test Card Set – One-Port | P0011465 | 32 x Test Card for One-Port (4 x 8 pcs) 1 x Calibrator for One-Port |
| Test Card Set – Shunt-Thru with Rs | P0011466 | 32 x Test Card for Shunt-Thru with Rs (4 x 8 pcs) 1 x Calibrator for Shunt-Thru with Rs |
