Linear metrology

Transfer function measurement benches (S parameters).

These benches make it possible to characterize components, circuits and systems in the radio frequency domain, from a few tens of MHz to a few hundred GHz.

Filter realised by additive technology and characterization stage
S parameters measurement on home-made filter

Features:

Frequency bands: 10 MHz – 330 GHz (split into different bands)

Connectics: coaxial, waveguide, on-wafer

Polarizations: 200 V – 0.4 A between 10 MHz and 40 GHz

100 V – 0.4 A between 10 MHz and 70 GHz

50V – 0.5 A between 70 GHz and 330 GHz

Feasible measures:

Measured parameters: S parameters

Measured devices: passive devices (microwave filters, RF MEMS,…) and active devices (transistors, LNA, amplifiers,…)

Noise Measurement Bench (NF 50 ohms + S parameters) 10 MHz – 50 GHz

This bench allows to characterize both the [S] parameters in the frequency range as well as the noise factor (Noise Figure) which corresponds to the degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio between the output and the input of the device under test, adapted 50 ohms.

S parameters and LNA Noise Figure

Features:

Connectics: coaxial, waveguide, on-wafer

Feasible measures:

Measured parameters: S and Noise Figure (NF 50 ohms)

Measured devices: active devices (LNA (Low noise amplifier) adapted 50 ohms)
