Engineered Solutions - RF Component / Assembly Testing
Engineering services offers our customer the capability of performing RF tests on components and assemblies. Fully automated test systems are used for volume production. Test data is electronically stored and can be supplied per our customers' requests.



Component Testing

TESTING AND SORTING (BINNING) of DC Parameters for Bipolar and MOSFET Devices

  • Bipolar - V(BR)CBO V(BR)CES V(BR)CEO V(BR)EBO ICBO ICES IEBO and hFE
  • MOSFET - V(BR)DSS IDSS IGSS VGS(TH) VDS(ON) and gfs

MATCHED DEVICES - Devices should be matched if being paralleled or used in a push-pull circuit.

  • hFE - DC current gain (for bipolar transistors)
  • gfs - Forward Transconductance (for FETs)
  • Gate Threshold Voltage (for FETs)
  • Power Gain (Requires customer's test fixture)
  • Other parameters that customer may require

SELECTION OF TRANSISTORS TO SPECIFIC PARAMETER RANGES

  • hFE - DC current gain (for bipolar transistors)
  • gfs - Forward Transconductance (for FETs)
  • Gate Threshold Voltage (for FETs)
  • Other parameters that customer may require

SELECTION OF LOW LEAKAGE CURRENT DEVICES

  • Selection of devices with low reversed biased junction currents

RF TESTING (Requires customer's test fixture)

  • IMD - Intermodulation Distortion
  • IP3 - Third Order Intercept
  • Power output
  • Gain
  • Other parameters that customer may require
