Roos Instruments, Inc is now shipping the single slot RI8586 24 GHz CW Microwave Source (TIM).

The RI8586 provides in a single TIM slot an ultra-low phase noise, continuous wave fast switching signal generator, tunable from 25 MHz to 24 GHz with 1 Hz resolution. This microwave source functions as a stand-alone instrument as well as a component of RI’s System RF (SyRf) Core technology with multiple RF ports to support seamless system integration with Cassini's signal sources and Test Set TIMs. Fast phase settling enhances the speed and accuracy of vector-calibrated VNA measurements, to cover any of the 5G and 6G frequency ranges as well as applications up to 110 GHz. Designed as a high volume production test tool, the RI8586 features <500 μsec frequency switching, wide dynamic range, multi-port signal routing and supports vector calibration to deliver high-fidelity power and phase control.

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.
