Focus Microwaves’ RAPID DT, built on Keysight’s M5000 PXI modules, delivers fast, broadband load pull and S-parameter testing up to 18 GHz. It supports CW and pulsed signals across wide bandwidths, making it ideal for advanced standards like 4096QAM 802.11be.

Our 2 Series cable assembly showcases excellent phase stability against bending, developed with microwave/mmWave measurement environments in mind.

Its flexibility means low repulsion, reducing the load on the measured object

Focus Microwaves' bi-directional couplers, available in 40, 67, 110 and 120 GHz models, offer high directivity and low insertion loss. These couplers provide precise measurements, making them ideal for advanced RF and microwave testing, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in both R&D and production environments.

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.

Southwest Microwave offers a broad family of SSBP multi-coax contacts and assemblies to address RF/microwave packaging miniaturization and flexibility challenges. These push-on coax contacts simplify interconnections and cabling while offering greater system reliability than the alternative of mating a large array of standard coax connectors. These SSBP coax contacts were designed to fit into standard off-the-shelf MIL-DLT-38999 and MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub connectors and are interchangeable with standard signal contacts available in 20 HD, 20, 16, 12, 8 sizes to accommodate a variety of performance requirements.

Contact us for flexible cable assemblies and harnesses for OTS MIL-DTL-38999 series I, II, III, and IV or MIL-DTL-24308 D-sub connectors. All size 20 contacts are sold on cables.

Focus Microwaves provides modular microstrip, high-power, and ultra-low-loss coaxial fixtures designed for load pull testing of packaged transistors. Equipped with TRL calibration standards, these fixtures support transistor packages from under 0.1” to 1” wide. Special features include decade-wide Klopfenstein transformers (Fmax:Fmin ~10:1), water- and air-cooling options, and on-substrate bias networks. Microstrip fixtures (PTJ-x*) offer 50Ω lines, λ/4 or taper transformers, harmonic traps, and DC bias networks, while Minimum Loss coaxial Test Fixtures (MLTF-x*) feature low insertion loss (< 0.03 dB at 2 GHz) with connectors including 7mm, N, and 7/16, spanning up to 18 GHz. Both types support water cooling for RF power up to several hundred Watts.
