Production Releaseof High-Gamma Tuner™
HGT™ Fills Critical Unmet Need in Ultra-High Matching Low Vibration On-Wafer Space
Model MT981HU11 - 7mm High-Gamma Tuner (HGT™) |
January 10, 2007
Maury Microwave Corporation, a leading global supplier of device characterization and, precision adapters, and VNA calibration solutions, today announced the production release of the High-Gamma Tuner (HGT™). The innovative new ultra-high matching range tuner is targeted for GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, WiFi, and WiMax development in an on-wafer or in-fixture environment. With several installations at Tier 1 foundries and wireless chipset developers, the HGT™ has fundamentally changed the way in which advanced Si, GaAs, and GaN processes are characterized
"The HGT™ is a revolutionary new solution that fills a critical unmet need in the existing device characterization space," said John Sevic, Director of Sales and Marketing at Maury Microwave. "This is the only device characterization tool of its kind in the world that enables GSM/EDGE on-wafer loadpull at realistic 35 dBm power levels simultaneously with low vibration, thereby dramatically reducing valuable fab back-end process development time. The HGT™ is ideal for reducing development time and optimizing process performance of advanced LDMOS, GaAs GaN low-noise and power technologies that fuel the global wireless revolution."
Utilizing Maury’s legendary proprietary precision machining capability, the HGT™ is available spanning all standard wireless protocols from 825 MHz to 6 GHz, with a typical VSWR specification of 200:1. Based on the industry-standard USB interface, the HGT™ mates with Maury’s industry-leading Interactive Loadpull Environment, ATS 4.00, or Maury’s Tuner Automation Environment, for DLL-based applications. Provided as a total solution, the HGT™ is available with optional low-loss wafer probes and cabling to provide the ultimate in ultra-high VSWR on-wafer loadpull.
HGT™ Features Include:
• Frequency Range of 825 MHz to 6 GHz
• Typical Matching Range of 200:1
• Generates Sub 1 W Loadpull at Wafer Probe Tip
• Simultaneous Ultra-High Matching and Low Vibration
• Vector Repeatability Better Than -40 dB
• DGt Accuracy Better Than ±0.3 dB
• USB Control
• Optional Probe and Cable Total Solutions
