A complete solution designed to assist educational institutions
Indianapolis, Indiana, July 27, 2020 -
Copper Mountain Technologies
is releasing SMD Test Solution and an Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR) software
plug-in. These two component testing solutions facilitate characterization of
RF devices and discrete components with metrological accuracy. The AFR plug-in
and SMD Test Solution may be used in combination, or individually, depending
on user applications.
SMD Test Solution is a comprehensive product utilizing a vector network analyzer,
fixtures, software, and tools—for manual, non-destructive characterization of
0402 components. It allows for measurement of SMD components over a wide frequency
range from 100 kHz to 20 GHz – an industry first. SMD Test Solution uses serial
and shunt fixtures with known topology to make metrologically accurate measurements
for discreet resistors, capacitors, or inductors under real-life installation
conditions. No soldering is required for testing, reducing the time and cost
of component testing. It is available to use with CMT 2-port 20 GHz Cobalt network
analyzers.
Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR) VNA software plug-in enables the measurement
of a wide range of components through comprehensive methods tailored to specific
fixture properties. The intuitive AFR software moves the calibration plane towards
hard to access DUTs and guides the de-embedding process using either time-gating,
filtering, or bisect methods. These methods provide the user with better measurement
accuracy and reliability based on the components to test. The AFR software plug-in
is easy to use and is compatible with all CMT Cobalt series VNAs and Compact
series two-port, two-path VNAs.
