Roos Instruments, Inc is now shipping the new 5G - RI8580 updated V-Band Test Instrument Module (TIM).

Regular production of the new wider, band 50 to 70 GHz mmWave RI8580 TIM started July 5, 2022. This 2-port test set TIM performs S-parameter, power and distortion measurements. Intermodulation measurements are possible thanks to its two internal signal multipliers. Internal multipliers, directional coupler and multiple down-converters extend the Roos Instruments 25 GHz CORE Cassini ATE system up into the mmWave V-Band. By using waveguide exclusively throughout the TIM to minimize signal losses, RI has achieved maximum sensitivity and dynamic range at high measurement speeds whether performing precision vector S-parameters or broadband power testing for a myriad of communication and military applications. The TIM incorporates a set of patented RI RR15 Blind Mate Micro Flange waveguide interfaces to allow measurements from -130 dBm to over 10 dBm. 

Roos Instruments, Inc. has been providing precision high speed analog/mixed signal/RF and mmWave ATE systems for over 30 years. The future-proof Cassini line of ATE systems have been shipping since 2007 and incorporate a fully configurable TIM based modular architecture that can meet the needs of any IC, wafer or module test requirement. Cassini provides the end user maximum performance at a low cost of test, while providing the industry's fastest test times.
