Evaluation for GaN MMICs devices.

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), one of Korea’s leading research institutes, has selected Anritsu’s Broadband Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) VectorStar™ ME7838G for the characterisation and design verification of high-frequency devices using GaN MMICs. By deploying the ME7838G, ETRI has established an evaluation platform for millimeter-wave and sub-THz applications, improving measurement reproducibility and enabling reliable design verification.

As next-generation communications technologies advance, device evaluation is expanding into millimeter-wave and sub-THz frequency ranges. To improve design accuracy and performance prediction for GaN MMIC-based device development, ETRI conducts broadband characterisation that covers not only the operating frequency band but also harmonic frequency ranges. On-wafer measurements, which evaluate device characteristics directly on the wafer while excluding the effects of packaging and mounting, are widely used for this purpose. However, in millimeter-wave and sub-THz on-wafer measurements, probe contact conditions and measurement-system effects can easily cause measurement variation, making it a challenge to establish an evaluation platform that enables highly reliable comparison and verification between design and measured data.

To address these challenges, ETRI deployed the ME7838G. The ME7838G supports single-sweep measurements up to 220 GHz and enables evaluation from millimeter-wave to sub-THz frequencies on a single platform. Since broadband evaluation can be performed using a single measurement system, ETRI established an on-wafer evaluation platform that enables measurements from millimeter-wave to sub-THz frequencies under consistent test conditions, without switching measurement systems between frequency bands. This provided an environment in which measurement data acquired across a wide bandwidth could be compared with and analysed against design data under consistent conditions and with a high degree of accuracy.

Anritsu recognises that measurement technologies that combine broadband characterisation with high measurement reproducibility will become increasingly important for high-frequency device development for 6G and next-generation satellite communications. Anritsu will continue to support customers’ semiconductor research, development, and evaluation through its test and measurement technologies.

Further details of this case study “Establishing a High-Frequency Evaluation Platform to Support Foundry-Grade Quality.” It describes how the high-frequency evaluation platform established by ETRI contributes to improving design verification and performance prediction accuracy for GaN MMICs.

Wireless bridge kit.

Turns multi-day wireless deployments into plug-and-play installs.

Antaira Technologies, a global leader in industrial networking and wireless connectivity solutions, today announced The Airolinx Go MAX, from Antaira, is a preconfigured point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridge kit engineered to eliminate the guesswork, configuration time, and truck rolls that typically bog down outdoor wireless backhaul projects. Purpose-built for Security and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications, the Airolinx Go MAX pairs rugged, high-throughput hardware with Antaira's new Airolinx Go Studio software to compress what is normally a multi-hour commissioning process into minutes.

Security integrators and ITS engineers face a common problem: wireless links need to go up fast, perform predictably, and survive years of outdoor exposure without a service call. The Airolinx Go MAX kit is designed around that reality. Every kit ships as a matched pair of pre-paired radios. Once powered on, the link forms automatically, no controller, no IP scheme, and no on-site configuration is required to pass traffic.

Zero-touch bridging, video-grade throughput.
At the core of every Airolinx Go MAX kit is a transparent Layer 2 bridge architecture that requires no management IP to pass traffic — units simply extend the network as if a cable were run between sites. Each radio integrates a dual chain (2x2) 5GHz radio delivering wireless speeds up to 2400Mbps, paired with an integrated 19dBi panel antenna capable of reaching 6+ miles.

For camera and sensor backhaul specifically, the kit is tuned for video-grade performance across a 1.5–4 mile (2.4–6.5km) line-of-sight range, holding the higher, more consistent throughput that live video streams and time-sensitive ITS data demand.

Power comes via active 802.3at PoE input, simplifying cabling at both ends of the link, and the entire unit is housed in an IP67-rated enclosure rated for -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) operation. The kit is engineered for permanent outdoor installation in the enclosures, gate posts, and roadside cabinets where Security and ITS hardware lives. 

Airolinx Go Studio commissioning software.
What sets the Airolinx Go MAX kit apart isn't just the radio hardware. It's the install experience engineered around it. Antaira's new Airolinx Go Studio software was built specifically to solve the problem of commissioning devices that ship without a management IP. Using Layer 2 discovery, Airolinx Go Studio finds and identifies units on the local segment before any IP addressing is configured, giving installers a guided workflow to:

• Discover and commission devices at Layer 2, even prior to IP assignment
• Set first-run security to lock down access before the link goes live
• Optimize RF channel selection to avoid interference and maximize throughput
• Align antennas in real time, using live signal feedback instead of guesswork
• Validate the link and generate a link test report on the spot — ready-made documentation for project close-out and client sign-off

For integrators, this turns antenna alignment and RF tuning from an experience-dependent art into a repeatable, verifiable process, and it hands over documentation that used to require a separate site visit or spreadsheet.

Scales from one link to a full network.
While the Airolinx Go MAX kit is preconfigured for point-to-point deployment out of the box, the architecture is built to grow:

• Add the optional AIROLINX-GOMAX-BASE-IP67-T high-speed base unit to convert a single link into a point-to-multipoint (PtMP) network
• Add additional AIROLINX-GOMAX-KIT-IP67-T preconfigured kits to expand coverage across more sites without re-engineering the network

This lets integrators start with a single camera or intersection link and scale up to a distributed Security or ITS network using the same hardware family and the same Airolinx Go Studio workflow.

Every Airolinx Go MAX kit is backed by a 5-year warranty, reinforcing Antaira's commitment to hardware that performs in the harshest outdoor environments, from roadside heat to winter cold, without the premature failures that drive up total cost of ownership.

Analyser for Africa’s only sub-terahertz measurement facility.

Enabling calibrated high-frequency measurements up to 220 GHz.

The University of Pretoria's Carl and Emily Fuchs Institute for Microelectronics (CEFIM) has selected the Anritsu 220 GHz VectorStar™ Broadband Vector Network Analyser (VNA) as the core measurement platform for Africa's only comprehensive sub-terahertz (sub-THz) measurement facility. By establishing this capability locally, CEFIM will give researchers in South Africa and the wider region access to advanced sub-THz measurement resources that previously required overseas facilities.

Tinus Dr. Heinrich Laue and Professor Tinus Stander (University of Pretoria), Darius Opperman (Tamashi Technology Investments) and Stefano Balzarini (Anritsu) and associates.

Extending Measurement Capability to 220 GHz.
At the heart of the facility is the Anritsu VectorStar Broadband VNA, providing continuous broadband frequency coverage up to 220 GHz. Together with harmonic mixers and calibrated noise analysis capabilities, the system enables characterisation of microwave and millimetre-wave devices operating in the sub-terahertz frequency range. The installation extends CEFIM's previous measurement capability from 110 GHz to 220 GHz, providing researchers with access to calibrated measurements across a significantly broader frequency range and enabling more complete validation of high-frequency device designs.

Selected for Advanced Research.
The facility will support a broad range of research activities within CEFIM, including work related to next-generation wireless communications, radio astronomy, water vapour radiometry and other sub-terahertz technologies. It will also support the institute's participation in international research initiatives, including the African Millimetre Telescope project and the development of next-generation radio astronomy receivers. “As this is an emerging research field, no facility previously existed in South Africa to measure electromagnetic waves and devices at these frequencies,” said Professor Tinus Stander, Carl and Emily Fuchs Institute for Microelectronics, University of Pretoria. “The establishment of this facility will support research in future wireless communications, radio astronomy and a range of emerging applications that require measurement capabilities well above 100 GHz.”

“Leading research institutions require measurement solutions they can rely on when pushing the boundaries of microwave and millimetre-wave technology. We are proud that CEFIM selected Anritsu’s VectorStar Broadband VNA for their facility, and we see this project as another example of the trust that universities and research organisations place in Anritsu for advanced high-frequency measurements,” said Marco Bordin, Sales Director, Southern Region, Anritsu EMEA.
