This will allow for measurement of the input and output large signal impedances of the DUT, input delivered power and real added efficiency, and in-situ absolute tuner Gamma removing the reliance on mechanical tuner repeatability. This test and measurement equipment will be used for R&D during the Catapult's collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing. The equipment will be 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 semiconductor) and built-up RF modules (amplifiers). ### System Outline The system shall comprise of 2 RF tuner heads (load and source) and a 4-axis bed on which they are supported along with other probes which will connect the DC voltages to the device under test. The equipment shall interface to the 67 GHz Keysight PNA-X that is currently located in the RF lab along with a companion PC running windows O.S. which contains the software that is supplied to run the tests. Refurbished offerings will be considered provided warranties are included. The system is required by the end of March 2022.
