On wafer 110GHz load pull for
5GHz applications
Keysight Technologies andFocus Microwaves
Perform mmWave load pull up to110Ghz with confidence– On wafer load pull measurements
up to 110GHz– Measure and optimize key nonlinear parameters– Perform both scalar and vector loadpull– Uses Keysight N5290A 900 Hz to
110 GHz PNA MM-Wave System

mmWave on wafer load pull has always been a challenge for both test and design
engineers as the inherent loss at high frequencies would limit the tuning and anddynamic range on any load pull system. Keysight and Focus have collaborated todevelop a turkey solution which solves those problems making now possible toperform high frequency fundamental and harmonic load pull up to 110GHz withgreat accuracy. Combined with Keysight's very small footprint N5290A 110GHz
PNAx, Focus Microwaves DELTA tuners offer a very simple and efficient system
which elegantly integrates on wafer....
DELTA Tuners For On Wafer Measurements
Focus Microwaves’ new DELTA series of electro-mechanical tuners is designed
specifically for high frequency on wafer measurements. The tuner’s low profile
allows it to be placed within the wafer perimeter and allows for a direct connection
between the probe tip and the tuner, eliminating all possible insertion loss between
the DUT and the tuner. This revolutionary new tuner design enables the engineer toachieve optimum tuning range, with a tuner whose footprint and weight has been
dramatically reduced.

On wafer 110GHz load pull for 5GHz applications
The PNA-X Series of microwave network analyzers are the culmination of KeysightTechnologies, Inc. 40-year legacy of technical leadership and innovation in radio
frequency (RF) network analysis. More than just a vector network analyzer, the PNAX is the world’s most integrated and flexible microwave test engine for measuring
active devices like amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters.
The Focus Device Characterization Suite (FDCS) includes several software products
aimed at characterizing transistor devices. The Load Pull Explorer software package(LPEx) is a load pull characterization and test software. Advanced software routines
used for tuner control/calibration, driver based instrument communication, andreference plane de-embedding. Standard frequency based, time domain based(vector receiver based) measurements are supported. Additionally, hybrid active
injection load pull now allows a combination of active injection and passive loadpull.
