SuperMini Board-to-Board solutions optimize interconnect performance for board-to-board stacking applications.
Available bullets enable board-to-board spacing as close as 3 mm, assuring transmission line dependability for tightly stacked PCBs. Low mating insertion force allows for an increased density of interconnections per board. Unique bullet design enables extended mating and de-mating cycles.

Focus Microwaves' Harmonic Tuners are engineered to enable precise control of impedance at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies (typically f₀, 2f₀, and 3f₀), making them essential for nonlinear device characterization and power amplifier design.
These tuners feature multiple cascaded probes within a single tuner body, allowing independent or simultaneous tuning at multiple frequencies. Their robust design ensures high tuning accuracy, minimal insertion loss, and excellent repeatability across a broad frequency range. Harmonic tuners are the ideal solution for advanced Load Pull measurements where harmonic control is critical.

Focus Microwaves offers a range of high-performance pulsed modulators, including 1-channel and 2-channels models, designed for precise signal modulation. These modulators are ideal for RF and microwave applications requiring accurate and reliable pulsed signal generation.

For microstrip or grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs, Southwest Microwave solderless vertical launch connectors provide optimal signal integrity and are reusable. Suitable for various board materials and thicknesses, the vertical launch connectors reduce footprint requirements without sacrificing performance, resulting in design and installation convenience.

- 3 Measurement States; Quiescent (OFF-State), Non Quiescent (ON-State), and Pre-State
- The Pre State is a short high voltage state used to activate the traps in the semiconductor.
- Adjustable delay (Δt) between the Pre state and Non Quiescent state down to 0s.
- Independently adjustable timing settings for the Three-state gate pulser and drain pulser
- Easy Integration into existing mainframes
