Solutions for Testing Higher Frequencies with Better Accuracy and More Data

Anthony Lord, Director, RF Segment Business Development, FormFactor Inc.

 

With new on-wafer test demands of 5G rollout, 6G pathfinding, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), imaging as well as aerospace and defence applications - there are definite needs to test to higher frequencies, with better accuracy and more data. Challenges come into play now such as measurement channel loss, calibration drift and the general lack of experience of measuring above 110GHz. This presentation will show a selection of proven on-wafer probing solutions, with data, for frequencies as high as 1.1THz. Using optimized measurement channels and autonomous calibration monitoring and re-calibration these measurement challenges can now be readily addressed.
