Best-in-Class Tuning Range Performance with Minimized Insertion Loss and Optimized Gamma

The tuners from Focus Microwaves are specifically designed for on-wafer integration, which allows them to be located as close to the wafer as physically possible, without the need for a coupler or a cable. FormFactor’s probes can be directly connected to the test port of the tuner, which minimizes insertion loss and maximizes gamma, allowing a very large cover of tunable impedances over the Smith chart. FormFactor’s IceShield platen insert solution allows for frost-free operations at low temperatures and high relative humidity. Tightly integrated instrumentation from industry leader Keysight completes the system to deliver best possible measurement accuracy and repeatability.

Fastest, Low-Risk, and Most Affordable Path to High Quality Measurements

Pre-validated, turn-key, comprehensive, integrated measurement systems from FormFactor deliver peace of mind and immediate, out-of-the-box productivity for important test applications.

These benefits are provided at no extra cost. IMS solutions from FormFactor include no markups over Keysight and Focus pricing, or integration charges.

Only one on-wafer load-pull system in the world is built upon the foundations of the #1 leader in R&D instrumentation plus the #1 leader in analytical probe systems – the FormFactor IMS-K-Load-Pull.

Applications: On-wafer RF/mmW load-pull
