FormFactor - Cascade IMS-K-mmW/THz - Integrated Measurement System with Keysight VNA for S-parameters from RF to mmW to THz
Comprehensive, Turn-key Integrated Measurement System (IMS) with Keysight PNA for On-wafer R&D Measurements from RF to millimeter wave to Terahertz
Industry’s Most Productive and Accurate S-Parameter Measurement System
FormFactor’s Autonomous RF Measurement Assistant automates S-parameter measurements for continuous 24/7 testing, to triple device throughput and ensure accurate data through automatic calibration monitoring, instrument re-calibration and camera-guided adaptive probe placement on every device, even at multiple temperatures -60°C to +200°C. Tightly integrated instrumentation from industry leader Keysight completes the system to deliver best possible measurement accuracy and repeatability.
Fastest, Safest, and Most Affordable Path to High Quality Measurements
Pre-validated, turn-key, comprehensive, integrated measurement systems from FormFactor deliver peace of mind and immediate, out-of-the-box productivity for important test applications.
These benefits are provided at no extra cost. IMS solutions from FormFactor include no markups over Keysight pricing or integration charges.
Only one S-parameter system in the world is built upon the foundations of the #1 leader in R&D instrumentation plus the #1 leader in analytical probe systems – the FormFactor IMS-K-mmW/THz.
