Model, optimize, and validate transistor performance
Accurate device characterization is fundamental to component success. From advanced load pull technologies and techniques to noise parameters extraction to S-parameter measurements for circuit design and analysis, Maury enables comprehensive transistor modeling, performance optimization, and validation.
Assessing amplifier linearity and driving high-performance DUT analysis
Highly accurate power measurements are critical to understand amplifier performance and behavior. Maury peak power meters and USB power sensors deliver essential crest factor measurements and complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) statistical analysis to test power amplifiers for R&D, quality, manufacturing, field support, and system calibration applications.
Amplifiers themselves generate high-power RF signals needed to drive the test and measurement of high-performance DUTs, without introducing distortion or compromising measurement fidelity. Test confidently with Maury T&M amplifiers, which provide the wideband, linear, high-power output needed for modern test setups.
Evaluating local oscillator behavior and system resilience to complex interference
Critical components in uplink and downlink chains, LOs often introduce distortions that significantly impede performance. High-performance, stable, and spectrally pure signal generators are ideal LO substitutes to identify if an LO is the cause of system faults and failures.
With Maury additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) sources, component behavior is analyzed under real-world interreference conditions, ensuring thorough and consistent stress-testing for optimal performance after deployment.
High-integrity component testing throughout the entire signal chain
Maury’s comprehensive interconnects integrate seamlessly with any test setup, ensuring each part of your signal chain delivers the highest integrity and reliability throughout the testing process. With Maury, you’ll achieve accuracy and precision with every measurement.
