Bruco has expanded its laboratory facilities with RF equipment.
To better serve our customers Bruco has invested in RF measurement equipment to expand the range of circuits which can be evaluated in-house.Next to our already extensive evaluation facilities, our new RF evaluation setup enables us to evaluate circuits into the GHz frequency range.
The RF evaluation setup includes:
- Network analyzer - f=10MHz - 20GHz
- Spectrum Analyzer - f=9kHz - 12.8GHz
- Two signal generators - f=300kHz - 4GHz
- Linear RF Power Amplifier - f=0.8GHz - 2.7GHz, 110W
- Power Meter - max. inputs=+30dBm
- Accompanying cables, loads, sensors and couplers
It is therefore possible to measure key parameters of RF circuits; like gain, efficiency, Noise Figure, Phase Noise and IPx.
The current setup is used to evaluate high power RF power amplifiers for 3rd generation base stations.
