The never-ending trend to
decrease size and cost is leading
to many RF front-end passive
and active components being
integrated in a single compact
module. This configuration has
new measurement challenges to
be considered. Modules designed
to use low temperature co-fired
ceramics fabrication technology
(LTCC) such as switchplexers
and multiplexers must be tested
exceptionally fast while main-
taining high levels of accuracy
and high repeatability to achieve
high production volumes.
Network analyzer sweep speed is
only one factor that contributes
to the overall throughput that
can be achieved in multiport
devices with multiple measure-
ment paths. The overall
throughput depends on how
quickly the system can transition
from one measurement path to
the next and process that data.
These solutions optimize key
hardware, firmware, and
software features to achieve
exceptionally fast measurement
speeds.
