EuMW 2024 Demonstrations
Learn the featured capabilities and products for each of our in-booth demos
Qualifying LO Substitution Phase Noise Improvements
Today’s communication systems utilize high order modulation to achieve high data throughput, which requires faster clock rates that can increase symbol errors. A potential source of these errors is phase noise from the existing local oscillator (LO). This demonstration features the HSY9000A Series multi-channel RF synthesizer with the ultra-low phase noise option as an ideal LO substitute, and the HA7062D series for real-time phase noise analysis.
On-Wafer Passive Load Pull for 5G FR2
In an in-booth demo at EuMW 2024, a vector-receiver source-pull and load-pull setup will utilize two Nano5G™ tuners to manipulate source and load impedance and optimize the performance of a high-frequency, high-power device. The Nano5G model enables highly reliable passive load pull measurements for 5G applications, especially in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands allocated for FR2, although continuous operation is available from 18 GHz – 50 GHz.
Wideband Impedance Control at 5G FR2
The MT2000 is a turnkey one-box load pull solution that offers wideband impedance control for modulated signals over the hardware’s modulation bandwidth and performs load pull at high speeds – up to 1000 impedance/power states per minute – with no limitation on Smith chart coverage. Watch the MT2000 mixed-signal active load pull system in action as it performs load pull on an LNA.
Cryogenic Noise Parameters
LNA design for quantum computing, radio astronomy, and other applications that operate at cryogenic temperatures require advanced and reliable noise parameter measurement capabilities. This demonstration uses a cryogenic noise parameter system, featuring the MT7553A03 noise receiver module, that can extract noise parameters down to 4 Kelvin at cryogenic temperatures while utilizing a cryogenic solid-state tuner to achieve non-50 ohm environments at the DUT input.
65 GHz Noise Parameters
In any active device or circuit, noise occurs naturally and establishes a limit for the lowest level of useful signals. It is crucial, therefore, to design circuits that minimize the effects of noise and its impact on performance. Noise parameters are crucial to know when designing LNA using highly mismatched devices. LNA design is even more critical in high-frequency applications that operate at lower power levels. This demonstration features the Maury Microwave MT7553C01 noise receiver module (0.1 GHz – 65 GHz) in a broadband noise parameter system.
Active Load Pull for 6G and Sub-THz Frequencies
Learn how the MMW-STUDIO – a software suite provided by Vertigo Technologies that enables power and phase control at the DUT reference plane through the extenders – performs a power-controlled S-parameter measurement and an active load pull in the WR6.5 waveguide band (110 GHz – 170 GHz) on a waveguide connectorized amplifier.
