Mixed-Signal Active Load Pull System: MT2000 Series

Maury Microwave Corporation and Anteverta Microwave have signed an exclusive development and distribution agreement with regards to Anteverta's next generation mixed-signal active load pull technology.

The Maury Microwave MT2000-series mixed-signal active load pull system, powered by Anteverta Microwave, is currently available in 6, 18 and 26 GHz versions. As an active load pull system, the MT2000 is extremely fast, with measurement speeds of up to 1000 points per minute in CW and pulsed environments. When operating in a modulated signal environment, the system has the capability to control up to 120 MHz of instantaneous wideband impedances. Source and load matching at fundamental and harmonic frequencies is available for all stimuli. MT2000 is a turnkey load pull system and does not require any external instrumentation.

Key Features (Typical Performance)

• Broadband system concept (e.g., 0.4-18.0 GHz)
• Reconfigurable hardware; single-ended, differential and number of controlled harmonics
• High speed and dynamic range
• Embedded measurement of (Pulsed/Isothermal) DC parameters

Single Tone

• "Real-time" measurement speed >1,000 power and load states per minute
• Multi-dimensional parameter sweeps
• Pulsed/Isothermal testing
• Measurement of calibrated Voltage and Current waveforms
• Device protection included
• Waveform reconstruction

Modulated Signals

• Wideband modulated signals (e.g. multi-carrier WCDMA) up to 120 MHz (240 MHz Available)
• Modulated Signal Library Included
• Losses and delay of cables, probes etc. are eliminated
• Upload the s-parameters of any "virtual matching networks" and get a one-to-one agreement with your board design (also for linearity)
• Device testing with digital predistortion
