Service provided by Unit of Technical Support to the Design and Test of Integrated Circuits.
The service offers the possibility of carrying out, among others, the following measures:
- Spectrum analysis of RF signals.
- Noise figure measurements.
- Power measurements.
- Characterization of low noise amplifier circuits (LNAs).
- Impedance measurements.
- Obtaining S parameters.
- Analysis of communication protocols.
- Generation and analysis of multi-tone signals.
To this end, it has the general-use radio frequency equipment that IMSE currently has, which includes, among others, the HP8719, Agilent E4440A, HP8562 and
Agilent N5230 network/spectrum analyzers, HP8664 signal generators, Agilent 5182A vector signal generators and N8974A noise figure analyzer, which allow
measurements up to a maximum of 13.5GHz.
The service also has an anechoic chamber for the characterization of emission/reception devices in a wide range of frequencies (700MHz-18GHz) as well as
characterizing low-gain omnidirectional antennas. This equipment allows:
- Obtaining radiation patterns.
- Gain measure.
- Directivity of antennas.
- Isotropic sensitivity.
The equipment of this service is completed with a probe station with the capacity to carry out measurements up to 50GHz, both on wafers and on printed circuit boards.
