Focus Microwaves - Focus Compact Modeling Software
The Focus Compact Model (FCM) utility is a streamlined software package designed to be used with Focus’ AURIGA high-end Pulsed-IV system, that is used to generate Compact Models for transistors from their Pulsed-IV and wideband pulsed s-parameter data.
This is achieved by generating a network of lumped circuit elements that represent accurately the fundamental linear & non-linear behavior of the device over a broad range of bias and power range.
The result of the modeling is a netlist and compatible with- the most common CAD tools used in RF Design; such as AWR Microwave office (MWO) and Keysight PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS).

The purpose of electrical representation or equivalent circuit of HEMT or any transistor in the form of lumped circuit elements is to implement and simulate its static and RF behaviour in CAD tools. This technique is particularly useful and often directly correlated to physical entities within the device structure, as illustrated below.
The illustration below is a small signal topology composed of a total of 16 linear components.
This is divided into two parts:
i) The Intrinsic part where the region under the gate (modulation occurs here) represented with a set of 8 intrinsic elements (RGD, Ri, CGS, CGD, CDS, GM, RDS, Τ).
ii) The Extrinsic part represented with a set of 8 extrinsic elements (RG, RD, RS, LG, LD, LS, CPG, CPD). These elements need to be extracted for small signal model implementation. The extraction process will be discussed in the following section.

Focus provides the deepest portfolio of wideband fundamental and harmonic passive tuners. Passive impedance tuners generate controllable reflection factor (Impedance) across the smith chart over a given frequency range. Focus uses two basic technologies:
-
From 100MHz to 120GHz we use the slide screw technique in which a reflective probe is inserted into a low loss slotted transmission line.
-
For frequencies from 10MHz to 170MHz we use a lumped element technology, whereby variable capacitors are connected with optimized lengths of coaxial cable. To view our Low Frequency Tuners, Click Here!
Most Focus Passive Tuners use long lasting RF probes which are designed for optimal tuning accuracy and are free of spurious resonances. The combination of multiple probes provide ultra wideband coverage in one single tuner. All Focus Passive Tuners are LAN controlled and include on-board impedance synthesis firmware.
For more information on Passive Tuners, visit our youtube channel!
The low frequency tuners are a unique product technology using MPT 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.
Linea Lite makes line scan more accessible than ever. Designed with performance in mind, this camera offers superior color fidelity with 2k to 4k resolution and line rates from 12.5 to 50 kHz, with a GigE Vision® interface.
