Focus Microwaves pushes the boundaries of tuner technology once again. While 6G frequencies and applications are still being defined, Focus took the initiative and developed a new family of waveguide tuners designed for frequencies greater than 110GHz. Leveraging the success and technology of the DELTA tuners (industry standard for direct connect on wafer applications) and combined it with the micro-metric accuracy and repeatability of the small footprint omega tuners. These new waveguide tuners will revolutionize the Sub-THz bands.
Starting with models from 26 to 40 GHz and now up to 330 GHz using standard WR-3, WR-5, WR-6, WR-10, WR-12, WR-15, WR-22 and WR-28 waveguide sections. The extreme high horizontal (2.5μm) and vertical (1.5μm) probe movement resolution allows dense impedance coverage up to the highest frequency. Focus’ series of waveguide tuners provide high tuning range in a small footprint, making them ideal for on-wafer applications. Multiple models are available for Ka, V, E, W and D bands.
The extreme low loss RF probes used in the waveguide tuners are also designed for optimal tuning accuracy and repeatability and are free of spurious resonances. All Focus tuners are LAN controlled and include on-board impedance synthesis firmware (iTuner) based on previous calibration.
