MPI Corporation Launches Industry-First 250 GHz Broadband Test Solution for Keysight PNA-X Frequency Extenders

MPI Corporation, a global leader in advanced semiconductor test solutions, announced the release of a fully integrated 250 GHz broadband test solution for the new Keysight NA5305A/7A PNA-X Frequency Extender, that builds on its deep expertise in sub-terahertz probing and on-wafer measurements. The new system leverages MPI's TITAN™ RF Probes and probe station platform to deliver industry-leading performance for broadband S-parameter characterization up to 250 GHz.

This latest milestone represents the culmination of MPI's extensive experience in high-frequency measurements, including previous solutions that pushed the boundaries of broadband probing beyond 200 GHz. It also reflects a deeper level of collaboration with Keysight Technologies, combining industry-leading instrumentation with MPI's advanced wafer-level solutions to meet the rising demand for sub-terahertz testing.

"MPI was the first to demonstrate live single sweep calibration and wafer level measurements up to 250 GHz, both single-ended and differential," said Stojan Kanev, General Manager of the Advanced Semiconductor Test (AST) Division at MPI Corporation. "This builds on our strong record in broadband on-wafer characterization with proven solutions beyond 200 GHz. The new 250 GHz solution combines TITAN™ Probe technology with system expertise to give stable, repeatable results, clear tip visibility, and protection that makes setup safe and simple. It helps engineers save time, protect their system, and reach the best performance."
