Focus Microwaves Sub-THz Vector Load Pull Solution is
a Key resource for Joint Scientific IEEE Research Project

“Artificial Neural Networks for Power Match Modeling and Verification With a Novel D -Band Vector Load—Pull Bench,” in IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, doi: 10.1109/TMTT.2023.3342128.

Focus Microwaves is excited to have collaborated with the University of California at Santa Barbara and Teledyne Scientific for the work “Artificial Neural Networks for Power Match Modeling and Verification with novel D-Band Vector Load-Pull Bench”. The work was accepted by IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. We are thrilled to be a part of this type of collaboration between academia and industry in advancing sub-THz vector load-pull solutions and this publication is a testament to the quality and importance of Focus Microwaves’ continued innovation in non-50Ohms characterization solutions using passive tuners.

A new tuner technology for on-wafer load-pull, the DELTA** tuners, allows the probe of the tuner to reach as close as physically possible to the transistor chip. This results in highest possible Gamma up to 120GHz, lower systematic measurement error and minimum phase skewing when testing with modulated signals.

*Waveguide continuous to 340GHz     |     **(see also PN-93 and PN-94).
