In partnership with Keysight Technologies and Maury Microwave, Modelithics has successfully benchmarked a significant new measurement capability and is now offering noise parameter testing through 50 GHz. This important measurement has been added to Modelithics’ list of precision measurement services. The new broadband noise parameter capability is enabled by a combination of Maury Microwave software and test hardware, combined with a Keysight PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer, configured with a 50 GHz noise receiver.
Modelithics did receive requests for higher frequency noise parameters beyond their previous standard offering of 0.3 to 26 GHz. Although they had a custom traditional solution in the 30 to 40 GHz range. Extensive testing of the new broad-band solution also confirms that it supports a much more efficient and reliable measurement flow compared to legacy noise parameter solutions. With this capabilities upgrade, Modelithics can now provide customers with 0.3 GHz to 50 GHz noise parameter device testing.
