RFIC ATE System

High Repeatablility, 3+ rack TIMs, Legacy Application Testing

Part Number: RI7100A


tiny RI 7100AThe RI7100A ATE System was a configurable and extremely capable tester for a wide variety of IF, RF, and Microwave devices from 5 kHz up to 20 GHz. From simple Power Amplifiers and LNAs to complete Transceivers and Systems, testing is accomplished through a universal Test Head interface. Custom fixtures adapt the DUT, which can be on wafer, packaged or modules, to the RI universal device interface. RI7100A System Options can be factory installed at the time of purchase, or upgraded anytime at a customer’s site.

Customizing the RI7100A involves considering the following:
The number and type of power supplies needed.
The number and type of RF signals that need to be applied.
The power level of the RF signals to be applied.
The expected device RF output power.
The number and type of any digital control to be applied.

Hide details for Test Plan Optimizer - Reduces Test TimesTest Plan Optimizer - Reduces Test Times

RI’s Test Plan Optimizer automatically reorders the tests in your test plan for maximum test speed (typically reducing test times by >30%.) The Test Plan Optimizer converts the test plan into low level measurements (such as wave parameters for S parameters). The Test Plan Optimizer then determines the time required to perform each measurement state change, identifies any duplicate measurement states, and then uses this information to restructure the test sequence for fastest execution. The resulting test sequence is compiled into executable code. All you have to do is press the RUN key to perform the testing.
