Notice Information

Notice Title

Sub 10GHz Fundamental, Harmonics up to 30GHz Load Pull system

Notice Description

This test and measurement equipment will be used for R&D at the Catapult's new Telecoms Centre of Excellence for collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing. The Telecoms Centre of Excellence will allow CSA Catapult to establish new hubs outside of Newport that will enable the development of regional supply chains, enabling companies to commercialise new technologies associated with communications, space, defence and related markets. The complete standalone load pull system will enable fundamental load-pull from 1.8GHz to 10GHz with 2nd and 3rd harmonic load pull to 30GHz The equipment will be initially located in the RF Laboratory of the CSA Catapult as the main objective for the acquisition is to use the equipment to characterise high speed RF devices (bare die wafer) and built-up RF modules (amplifiers).

The system comprises of 2 RF tuner heads (load and source) + a 4 axis bed on which they are supported along with other probes which connect the DC voltages to the unit being tested. The other equipment comprises of a 4 port 26.5GHz VNA. The other associated hardware will enable the amplification and attenuation of all RF signals to enable the driving of devices to suitable levels to obtain the appropriate data. All cables along with a companion PC running windows O.S. will be supplied which must contain the software to run the load pull test software. The testbed should support on wafer testing for wafers up to 200 mm with precision probe control, high mag imaging, and offer the option of thermal control between +2000C and -400C. Additional information: To express interest in the requirement and receive the tender documents, please email procurement@csa.catapult.org.uk with CON-2022-061 in the subject field.
