| About
Microtest, Inc....
Microtest, Inc. was founded in
1995 to provide high performance RF/Microwave test fixtures and
burn-in fixtures, and special components.
The founders of Microtest have
over 35 years experience (18 patents) in microwave components
and subsystems.
The test fixtures are designed
and built for performance verification testing devices, packages
and subsystems up to 40Ghz (up to 50Ghz in development).
These fixtures utilize
patented features which result in low VSWR transitions, high
repeatability, increased throughput and longer-life.
|
 | Microtest, Inc. has provided standard and custom test fixtures for many device, module and package manufacturers. |
 | All basic fixtures are designed
such that the device under test is measured in a 50 ohm
system (calibrated or non-calibrated). Fixtures with
systems other than 50 ohm can also be provided. |
 | For Production testing using a
Scalar Network Analyzer, low VSWR transitions are standard
and reference hardware is available. The same transitions
are used in "microwave modules"
for high "throughput" auto-testers (auto
handlers). |
 | For engineering testing low VSWR transitions are standard. However, if higher accuracy
is desired, Microtest can supply various
calibration standards (TRL, LRL SOLT). To be used with
vector-network-analysers. These standards are
also available in different transmission - line crosssections such as microstrip, coax ect. |
