Focus Microwaves' DLP (Dynamic Load Pull) is a cutting-edge platform for active load pull measurements, optimized for accuracy, speed, and reliability. Supporting frequencies up to 40GHz and beyond, it offers a versatile solution for CW and pulsed signal applications. The DLP enables fundamental and harmonic tuning, time domain measurements, and advanced behavioral modeling. With integrated options for DC IV and pulsed IV measurements, this one-box system is ideal for all stages of device characterization and testing, from initial development to final product testing. Its intuitive interface and industry-leading calibration techniques ensure precise and efficient measurements.
Auriga’s Bias Tees balance impressive RF performance with heavy-duty power handling across multiple frequency bands ranging from 0.1 GHz to 67 GHz. They are designed for rigorous usage without sacrificing RF performance.
The Low Frequency Tuner (LFT) is a unique product technology using M algorithms for low frequency wideband tuning. Three or more cascaded tuning sections use series transmission cables and parallel rotary capacitors. The length of the cables and number of tuning sections are optimized for maximum tuning range over a given bandwidth. HLFT tuners use 6 tuning sections allowing second harmonic frequency tuning.
