Focus Microwaves - TRL Calibration Kits 0.3-110 GHz
Calibrating tuners for Network Analyzers presents challenges due to high reflections and low losses, affecting S-parameter measurements. At Focus Microwaves, we advocate for TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line) calibration as essential for precise results, unlike the less reliable SOLT and ECal methods. Our comprehensive TRL calibration kits cover 0.3 to 110 GHz and support connector types including 7/16, N, APC-7, 3.5mm, 2.9mm, 2.4mm, 1.9mm, WR-15, and WR-10. Compatible with all commercial network analyzers, these kits ensure reliability and accuracy, crucial for dependable VNA measurements.

More Product Information
Auriga’s 5th generation pulsed IV/RF characterization system delivers unparalleled performance, capturing measurements with incredible speed and accuracy. Pulsed IV (current-voltage) measurements have emerged as the preferred method of capturing current-voltage characteristics of active devices such as field effect (FETs) and bipolar junction (BJTs) transistors.
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.

Focus Microwaves introduces a cutting-edge noise measurement system comprising three integral components: the Input Noise Module (INM), Output Noise Module (ONM), and Noise Module Controller (NMC). This system extracts precise noise parameters, offering rapid, stable measurements and optimized performance with dedicated software for calibration and analysis.
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.
