Maury Microwave is a leading provider of automated tuner systems for making Noise Parameter and Load Pull measurements. As a manufacturer of solid state and mechanical tuner systems, and an innovator of test and measurement technologies, Maury possesses a wide range of measurement systems which are, and which can be, configured to perform a variety of measurements on a number of device topologies.

Now, after decades of working with device designers (PA, LNA), process engineers, device modeling experts in delivering measurement systems and providing system training and measurement expertise, Maury is uniquely positioned to offer device measurement and characterization services to the RF & Microwave industry.

BENEFITS

• Save Time/Save $ - Let us do it for you
• Minimize your test equipment investment
• Enjoy complete confidence in your measurement data through measurement verification

FEATURES

• Fully Integrated and calibrated test systems
• The latest test equipment from leading manufacturers
• Access to expert RF/microwave test and measurement engineers and technicians
• Access to cuttingedge methodologies and topologies, and to emerging technological advances

Accurate • Repeatable • Reliable

Maury’s device characterization services can help newly formed fabless
design houses obtain the accurate and reliable RF measurement data that is crucial to their design work. Maury can also provide measurement verification to those companies that have their own noise parameter and load pull systems, and that want to take an extra step in certifying that their systems’ measurement data is accurate, and verifiable. Maury’s Measurement Services also be applied to help with device fabrication, model verification, and process control.

Reliable • Cost-effective

Maury’s team of expert engineers and measurement technicians use a proven approach to making accurate noise parameter and load pull measurements.Working with the bestsolid state and mechanical tuner systems in the industry (covering frequencies from 250 MHz to 110 GHz) our team will get you the results you need. In addition to this, Maury’s modern lab is equipped with the latest instruments for on-wafer and in-fixture CW and pulse measurement. Our close business alliances with Cascade Microtech and Agilent Technologies ensures that we can bring together a wide array of measurement configurations that is flexible enough to match our customers’ changing measurement needs.
