Maury Microwave has announced the extension of its Nano Series (NT-series) automated impedance tuners with the addition new models. The NT-series tuners have been designed for on-wafer applications with maximum VSWR at the probe tip. They provide accurate and more repeatable impedance control that is ideal for device characterization, VSWR sweeps, and maximizing power transfer from a generator to the load.
The new models enhance their capability to address sub-THz passive load pull, hybrid-active load pull, and noise parameter solutions within the 110-330 GHz range. The new NT tuners have the ability to generate wide-ranging load and source impedance conditions across the Smith Chart with ease, coupled with Maury's patented closed-loop feedback motor control that ensures exceptional measurement accuracy and repeatability.
Nano-series automated impedance tuners have been optimized for on-wafer integration. The direct connection offers two advantages: maximizing VSWR at the DUT reference plane and minimizing phase skew at the DUT reference plane.
Additional features and benefits of the NT-series include:
- Compact, lightweight design optimized for seamless integration with on-wafer probe station
- Direct connection to probe maximizes tuning range and reduces phase skew
- Eliminates the need for external probe mounts, cables, and couplers
- Minimizes transmission line lengths by bringing the turning element closer to the DUT
- Models are available with integrated low-loss, high-directivity coupler
