More Product Information

Discover Focus Microwaves' versatile MMT series of manual tuners, offering octave and multi-octave bands from 400MHz to 18GHz. With the same RF technology and precision as our automatic tuners, they ensure high VSWR at the DUT reference plane for reliable performance. Enhance harmonic tuning with options -H2 and -H23, inspired by our harmonic rejection tuners (PHT). Experience precision in manual tuning with Focus Microwaves.

- The LL137 Series provides a focused line of illumination in a passively cooled design.
- Provides a medium intensity level of 280kLux (working distance of 75mm)
- Pre-engineered for expandability in 6” (152mm) increments up to 96” (2.44m).
- Available intensity control provides illuminance adjustability for every 6″ increment via a 0 – 10v input
Note: If only looking for white illumination, our LL167 Series provides a 74% brighter beam in a similar package.

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.

Discover the frontier of tuner technology with Focus Microwaves' new waveguide tuners, designed for frequencies exceeding 110GHz. Combining the success of DELTA and omega tuners, these instruments promise to revolutionize Sub-THz bands, offering a high tuning range in a compact footprint. With extreme precision and low-loss RF probes, these tuners ensure optimal accuracy and repeatability, setting a new standard in on-wafer applications.

7 series Assemblies offer phase stability in multi purpose applications delivering reliable electrical performance, especially in phase & amplitude stability against temperature, to support repeatable measurement results.

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.

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.

Focus Microwaves
Focus Microwaves is a pioneering engineering company, built around the innovations of its founder Dr. Christos Tsironis who developed his first manual tuner in 1973 and is the inventor of most existing electro-mechanical tuner families. The success of Focus is based on the engineering and manufacturing skills of its highly motivated and experienced team of engineers and technicians, who have been trained and encouraged to develop new technologies. In addition, listening to our customers needs and insights helps us discover and develop new and measurement methods on an ongoing basis, relentlessly pushing the limits of what is possible.
