Maury at IMS 2024
June 16 - 21, 2024
Washington, DC
Booth #704
Join Maury Microwave at booth #704 during this year’s IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS). Booth #704 will feature our comprehensive product portfolio and various in-booth demonstrations highlighting the capabilities of our state-of-the-art solutions. Maury Microwave will also lead an IMS 2024 MicroApp seminar that focuses on using measurements captured by peak power sensors to predict error vector magnitude (EVM) degradation for OFDM systems.

PAPR as a Fast and Cost-Effective Indicator of EVM Degradation
Presented by Bob Buxton, Product Manager at Maury Microwave, attendees will learn a practical measurement solution using the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) that provides a fast and economical alternative to measuring EVM.
Date/Time
Wednesday, June 19, 2024 from 12:15 PM – 12:30 PM ET at the convention center’s MicroApps Theater.
Device Characterization, Active Load Pull, and Cryogenic Noise Parameters
Active Device Characterization up to 330 GHz
Achieving high VSWR is crucial at high frequencies since passive interconnects, such as waveguide sections and on-wafer probes, experience higher loss, which reduces the maximum reflection coefficient presented to the device under test (DUT). A demo at this year’s show will feature the prototype NT-220G330G-1C mmWave WR3.4 impedance tuner from Maury Microwave that offers the highest VSWR on the market by a significant margin, enabling users to perform active device characterization up to 330 GHz.
Active Load Pull for 6G and Sub-THz Frequencies
Learn how the MMW-STUDIO – a software suite provided by Vertigo Technologies that enables power and phase control at the DUT reference plane through the extenders – performs a power-controlled S-parameter measurement and an active load pull in the WR6.5 waveguide band (110 GHz – 170 GHz) on a waveguide connectorized amplifier.
Cryogenic Noise Parameters
LNA design for quantum computing, radio astronomy, and other applications that operate at cryogenic temperatures require advanced and reliable noise parameter measurement capabilities. This demonstration uses a cryogenic noise parameter system, featuring the MT7553A03 noise receiver module, that can extract noise parameters down to 4 Kelvin at cryogenic temperatures while utilizing a cryogenic solid-state tuner to achieve non-50 ohm environments at the DUT input.
Wideband Impedance Control, Power Measurements, Noise Generation
Wideband Impedance Control at 5G FR2
The MT2000 is a turnkey one-box load pull solutions that offers wideband impedance control for modulated signals over the hardware’s modulation bandwidth and performs load pull at high speeds – up to 1000 impedance/power states per minute – with no limitation on Smith chart coverage. Watch the MT2000 mixed-signal active load pull system in action as it performs load pull on an LNA.
Power Amplifier Linearity Characterization
Modern m-QAM, OFDM systems exhibit high PAPR. If the peaks are suppressed due to amplifier nonlinearity, symbol and bit errors may occur. Learn how the RTP5000 series USB real-time peak power sensors can provide PAPR results and CCDF curves to evaluate an amplifier’s nonlinear behavior and impact on signal integrity.
Stress your Receiver with Complex Interference
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio can quantify a system’s tolerance to complex noise, providing insight into its real-world performance. With the UFX7000B, learn how controlled additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) can ensure the performance designed in the lab is realized in the field. Related power measurements are captured and analyzed by RTP5000 sensors and the PMX40 benchtop RF power meter.
Phase Noise Analysis, Advanced Channel Emulation, On-Wafer Load Pull
Qualifying LO Substitution Phase Noise Improvements
Today’s communication systems utilize high order modulation to achieve high data throughput, which requires faster clock rates that can increase symbol errors. A potential source of these errors is phase noise from the existing local oscillator (LO). This demonstration features the HSX9000A series of multi-channel RF synthesizers with the ultra-low phase noise option as an ideal LO substitute, and the HA7062 series for real-time phase noise analysis.
5G NTN Link Emulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop Test
Get a live look at the leading-edge capabilities of the ACE9600 Advanced Channel Emulator, a non-terrestrial RF channel emulation solution that simulates link and hardware-based impairments on a signal’s path. Using its advanced emulation capabilities, the ACE9600 will show how real-world operating conditions impact signal constellation and other spectrum measurements.
On-Wafer Passive Load Pull for 5G FR2
In an in-booth demo at IMS, a vector-receiver source-pull and load-pull setup will utilize two Nano5G™ tuners to manipulate source and load impedance and optimize the performance of a high-frequency, high-power device. The Nano5G model enables highly reliable passive load pull measurements for 5G applications, especially in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands allocated for FR2, although continuous operation is available from 18 GHz – 50 GHz.
