The PC-controlled Bode500 vector network analyzer is the ideal solution for measuring transfer functions and impedances in the frequency range of 10 mHz to 450 MHz, thus enabling efficient and cost-effective testing of electronic components and circuits. With the OMICRON Lab Bode 500 vector network analyzer and the included "Bode Analyzer Suite" PC software, the Bode 500 network analyzer can not only determine S-parameters but also be used to measure transfer functions and perform frequency analysis of complex impedances such as capacitances and inductances. Due to its excellent price-performance ratio, the Bode 500 network analyzer is ideally suited for industrial applications in production, research, and development. Furthermore, the "Bode Analyser Suite" offers many useful functions for education and research in academic and university settings. With the Bode500, you have three instruments in one: Vector Network Analyzer, Gain/Phase Meter (Frequency Response Analyzer), Impedance Analyzer. The Vector Network Analyzer function allows you to easily measure: S-parameters in a 50-ohm system: S11 (input reflection) and S21 (forward transmission/gain/attenuation of the input signal), reflection coefficient and return loss, and insertion loss.

Group delay
Transmission characteristics of amplifiers
The gain/phase meter function allows the measurement of:
- Transmission function of electronic circuits
- Stability of power supplies and control loops (such as DC/DC converters)
- Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) or the supply voltage rejection in power supplies
As an impedance analyzer, the Bode 500 allows you to analyze:
- Electromagnetic components such as transformers and chokes
- Capacitors and their parasitic effects Properties
- Ultrasonic and piezoelectric components or systems
- High-quality circuits such as quartz filters and oscillators
- Input and output impedance of electronic circuits
