Oscilloscope Delivers Speedy Insights

Rohde & Schwarz says its RTO6 oscilloscopes deliver fast insights with an updated user interface on a larger, 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen and straightforward workflows. The R&S RTO6 delivers deep insights into designs on the engineer's workbench, with state-of-the-art specifications such as a 9.4 ENOB, an update rate of one million waveforms per second, and a comprehensive toolset of analysis functions. The digital oscilloscope offers six different bandwidth models from 600 MHz to 6 GHz and a sample rate of up to 20 Gsample/s. Rohde & Schwarz

GaN PIN Diode Switches

Pasternack's RF and microwave PIN diode coaxial-packaged switches are designed for commercial and military radar, jamming systems, medical imaging, communications, and electronic warfare. The switches use GaN and chip and wire semiconductor technology, making them suitable for broadband high-power applications. They offer excellent thermal properties and higher breakdown voltages, allowing them to handle higher input power levels. Switch features include cold switching performance up to 100 W CW RF input power, broad frequency band coverage ranging from DC to 18 GHz with reflective SPDT and SP4T PIN diode designs. They also feature TTL compatible driver circuitry for accurate logic control and are EAR99-compliant, allowing them to meet a series of environmental conditions for altitude, vibration, humidity and shock.

mmWave Semiconductor Device Test Systems

Marvin Test Solutions’ TS-900e-5G Series mmWave semiconductor device test systems deliver proven performance to 44 GHz and beyond, while meeting the high throughput requirements demanded by OSAT production. The scalable multi-port architecture supports up to 20 independent VNA channels, dynamic digital with per-pin parametric measurement units (PMUs), and a wide range of instrumentation options. Claiming the fastest mmWave production test performance in the industry, they are ideal for both wafer probe and package test. Additionally, the flexible receivers provide support for most popular production automation and handling tools. Marvin Test Solutions

Tri-Axis Yaw-Pitch-Roll Stages

Optimal Engineering Systems introduced a series of Tri-axis Yaw, Pitch, and Roll Stages. The YPR-100-100-100-01 model is driven by two-phase stepper motors. The -02 version is driven by three-phase brushless servo motors, with quadrature incremental optical encoders mounted on the shafts of the motors. The -03 is driven by DC servo motors with quadrature incremental optical encoders, while the -04 is driven by stepper motors with quadrature optical encoders for position verification. They are ideal for the precise measurement of angles, the curvature of an object, laser machining and drilling, scanning, tracking, and for use with coordinate-measuring machines. OES

XMC FPGA Modules with Write-Protected Configuration

Designed for defense and aerospace systems, Acromag’s XMC-7AWP and XMC-7KWP modules have a user-programmable Xilinx Artix-7 or Kintex-7 FPGA with write-protected flash memory to secure configuration files. These modules are well-suited for a broad range of applications such as hardware simulation, communications, signal intelligence, adaptive filtering, and image processing. High-speed interfaces are provided for PCIe, 10GbE, LVDS, serial and other I/O signals. The XMC-7KWP models offer a choice of Kintex-7 FPGAs for 325k or 410k logic cells. Dual SFP+ ports offer support for 10-gigabit Ethernet with fiber or copper transceivers. Acromag

Low-Profile XY Brushless Linear Motor Positioning Stage

The SRS-004-006/004-003-01-XY is a low-profile XY single-rail positioning stage that uses brushless linear motors to generate a continuous/peak force of 6.2 lbs [27.8 N] and 18.7 lbs [83.3 N] (bottom axis), 3.1 lbs [13.8 N] and 9.4 lbs [41.8 N] (top axis), with a total stroke length of 4.3 in [109 mm] (bottom axis), 4.3 in [109 mm] (top axis). The top axis directly mounts to the moving bottom axis motor. A low-profile system able to make quick moves in both the X and Y axes provided the solution for an automated assembly application.
