As the ATE industry tackles the new paradigms of 5G mmWave test, Roos Instruments’ 30 years of experience working closely with customers at these frequencies has highlighted the need for a holistic production test solution. The RI8607 Test Set is their newest instrument offering for the Cassini ATE system with two-port source and measure capability from 4 to 50 GHz. The RI8607 provides drop-in frequency extension of our standard 25 GHz source and receiver instruments, supplying vector-error corrected VNA capability and two-tone intermodulation test with a single insertion.
Coupled with our novel modular device interface, this enables configurable and cost-effective measurement port expansion that’s integrated into the instrument software control and system calibration to allow vector error-correction all the way to the device under test. Incorporating Roos’ patented RR12 Micro Flange™ interfaces and conformable waveguide interconnect, their test systems deliver high-density mmWave to probe card or socketed ICs with 10x less signal loss than coaxial to provide the industry’s most capable and versatile test solution to tackle the next generation of high frequency 5G test requirements. Introduced in 2005, the Cassini ATE platform offers a completely configurable test architecture, providing the industry's widest measurement range spanning from DC and high speed digital to 110 GHz. Combined with an intuitive graphical programming environment, Cassini offers precision measurement capability in a rapid production test development environment.
