What is being bought

Published requirement description

This test and measurement equipment will be used for R&D at the Catapult's new Telecoms Centre of Excellence for collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing. The Telecoms Centre of Excellence will allow CSA Catapult to establish new hubs outside of Newport that will enable the development of regional supply chains, enabling companies to commercialise new technologies associated with communications, space, defence and related markets.

The complete standalone load pull system will enable fundamental load-pull from 1.8GHz to 10GHz with 2nd and 3rd harmonic load pull to 30GHz

The equipment will be initially located in the RF Laboratory of the CSA Catapult as the main objective for the acquisition is to use the equipment to characterise high speed RF devices (bare die wafer) and built-up RF modules (amplifiers).
