Facility Features, Working Principle and Specifications
Facility Description
RF DC Characterization Facility provides electrical characterization of circuits.
1. RF Characterization: Probe station, Power Network Analyzer upto 8.5GHz
2. Signal Analysis: SGMA RF Source, spectrum analyzers upto 13.6GHz
3. DC Characterization: SMU, Semiconductor Device Analyzer for I&V testing
RF/DC characterization lab provides a testing solution for the electrical characterization of circuits. The facility operates through three primary measurement capabilities:
- RF Characterization: RF probe station and PNA-X power network analyzer to measure S-parameters and evaluate device performance up to 8.5 GHz with specialized ECal module
- Signal Analysis: An SGMA (Smart Signal Generator Modular Assembly) RF signal source works alongside signal and spectrum analyzers to perform precise spectral and phase-noise measurements up to 13.6 GHz.
- DC Characterization: Precision Source-Measure Unit (SMU) and semiconductor parameter analyzer connect to DC probe station to accurately capture fundamental DC properties, such as precise I-V (current-voltage) characteristics of devices.
