Unlock precise nonlinear transistor behavior representation with our Cardiff Model portfolio. Improve accuracy across a wide impedance space effortlessly.

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.

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.

Southwest Microwave connectors and accessories are designed to be compatible with each other to assure electrical performance. Southwest Microwave cannot assure electrical performance when the accessories are used with a non-Southwest Microwave connector.

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.
