Introducing the FormFactor Cascade EPS200MMW mmW probing up to THz and load-pull
The EPS200MMW is a dedicated probing solution that comes with everything needed to efficiently achieve accurate measurement results, incorporating bestknown methods and design concepts for probing up to THz frequencies.
With a solid cast frame and a platen with four-point support, the EPS200MMW delivers excellent stability, making it easy to achieve high accuracy. Its polished granite base eliminates any thermal or mechanical influences, ensuring excellent planarity and system stability. An integrated vibration isolation solution and an optional vibration-isolation table maintain high-quality contacts throughout
measurements.
The unique SIGMA™ options seamlessly integrate mmW heads and load pull tuners from leading measurement instrument suppliers, enabling the highest dynamic range and directivity without compromising electrical accuracy and mechanical stability. The SlimVue™ microscope mitigates mechanical interference for high-magnification optics required for small-pad probing.
The backlash-free X-Y-Z movement of positioners, integrated planarization and a contact separation drive with 1 µm repeatability enable precise probe placement and contact repeatability, equivalent to semi-automated systems. The WinCal XE™ software, verified standards and optimized calibration boundary conditions achieve superior calibration accuracy up to THz range, verifying the accuracy of your measurement results.
