Test & Measurement
Phase noise tester covers frequency range up to 50GHz
The new phase noise analyser and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz enables ultrasensitive and ultra-fast phase noise measurements. The R&S FSWP also allows users to very easily measure pulsed sources and residual phase noise of RF components. Plus the instrument can be upgraded to a signal and spectrum analyser.
Element Materials Technology acquires TRaC Global
Element Materials Technology has beefed up its European test and product qualification presence by acquiring TRaC Global (TRaC). It is Element’s largest single acquisition to date. In March 2015, Element announced that it had entered into a binding share purchase agreement with Bioquell PLC to purchase TRaC.
AOI systems offer inspection speeds of up to 55cm2/s
Silicon Valley-based full service EMS supplier, Rocket EMS, has announced that it has purchased two V510 G2 series AOI systems from ViTrox Technologies. The V510 G2 series offers high throughput productivity for SMT line production.
High-current test probe embraces many applications
The new HSP865-C from Peak Test Services is a high-current test probe designed to handle currents of up to 50A DC. Originally developed for battery test applications, the design of the new device makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-temperature testing at up to +250°C and use as a holding-down device with a force of up to 530 cN.
