The ramp-up of 5G mm-Wave technologies comes with substantial enhancements in connectivity, revolutionizing smart cities, the internet of things, vehicle to everything (V2X), and more. One of the fundamental requirements of such 5G devices is to maximize their performance by optimizing power and/or efficiency of the contained amplifiers and transistors. This is done by measuring the performance characteristics of the device under test at different impedances that are systematically changed using load-pull tuners.

The new Cascade SUMMIT200 advanced 200mm probe system, is essential for collecting high accuracy measurement data on single or volume wafers; as fast as possible.

FormFactor has partnered up with Focus Microwaves and Keysight Technologies to deliver a fully integrated solution for accurate on-wafer mm-Wave load-pull measurements using Focus high performance DELTA tuners.
