Confidence inMeasurementsIn today’s competitive market, many companies are losing customer trust because theproduct they promise, or the product they ship, does not match customer expectations,or customer's own validation. Equally, many companies are losing market sharebecause they are taking too long to release products due to multiple design cycles orprolonged qualification due to measurement variations or inconsistencies. Finally, manycompanies face production yield challenges due to built-in buffers to ensure passedparts pass, or due to inconsistent pass/fail data resulting in higher rejection rate. Theroot cause is often caused by inconsistencies: inconsistencies between measured dataand simulations or expectations, inconsistencies related to measurement variabilityover time, or inconsistencies related to measurements across multiple test benches atone or more sites. These inconsistencies often lead to a lack of trust, or confidence, inmeasurements.Our mission is to give our customers confidence in their RF through THz measurementsand models. We have developed and offer all aspects of measurement and modelingsystems with the primary objective of ensuring our customers have confidence in theirmeasurements and models. We complete your lab with:Calibration, validation and measurement solutions including Coaxial and waveguide VNA calibration kits which empower the highest calibrationaccuracy Calibration verification kits to validate VNA calibrations with an unambiguous go/no-go decision Software to drive the VNA calibration, validation and S-parameter measurementprocess with an emphasis on characterized measurement uncertaintiesInterconnect solutions including VNA test port, phase-stable and general-purpose cable assemblies designed toreduce measurement uncertainties Calibration-grade (metrology), color-coded precision and general purpose in-seriesand between-series adapters, and color-coded precision attenuators, emphasizingimproved VSWR and MIL-spec pin depth and concentricity for improved connectionrepeatability Torque wrenches and gage kits to ensure accurate and repeatable connectionseach timeDevice characterization solutions For more information on Maury’s device characterization solutions, please visitwww.maurymw.com1M A U R Y M I C R O W AV E / S O L U T I O N S B R O C H U R E E / 1 E - 0 0 1 / R e v 2 0 2 1 .1 0 / A

Calibration, Validation andMeasurement SolutionsInsight is the industry’s first software suitedesigned to empower VNA users andhelp them make better decisions. Insightrepresents a paradigm shift in the wayusers approach VNA calibration,validation, measurement, visualizationand analysis. A single software platformstandardizes the interface for allgenerations of VNA models and adds anintuitive GUI and wizard which walksusers through every step. Advanced VNAcalibration identifies and quantifies theindividual sources of measurementuncertainty and can be used to improvemeasurement accuracy. Calibrationvalidation uses uncertainty boundaries todefinitively identify good and badcalibrations. Real-time measurementswith uncertainty boundaries allow usersto better understand their devices.Advanced visualization and analysishelps users make better decisions whichresults in bringing the best products tomarket faster.Maury’s new characterized device (CD)VNA calibration kits and verification kitsare designed to improve confidence inyour S-parameters measurements.With individually characterized standards,CD cal kits result in calibrations with TRLlike accuracy and SOL ease-of-use,thereby improving your measurementswhile reducing the opportunity forpotential user errors. Cal kits come withfactory-characterized uncertainty dataand can be used with Maury’s Insightsoftware to quantify its contributionon the overall DUT measurementuncertainty.Maury’s new verification kits includemultiple standards with similarcharacteristics to different types of DUTs,thereby increasing the meaningfulness ofthe validation. Like the cal kits,verification kits come with factorycharacterized uncertainty and can beused with Insight to conclusivelydetermine the validity of a VNAcalibration.DATA SHEET4T-0232.4mm VNA calibration kits7950CK40 – fixed load SOLT kit(polynomial definitions)7950CK41 – fixed load SOLT kit(polynomial definitions) with adapters2.4mm calibration verification kits7950CK60 – characterized verification kitM A U R Y M I C R O W AV E / S O L U T I O N S B R O C H U R E E / 1 E - 0 0 1 / R e v 2 0 2 1 .1 0 / ADATA SHEET2Z-0727950CK50 – characterized device (CD)fixed load SOLT kit7950CK51 – characterized device (CD)fixed load SOLT kit with adaptersDATA SHEET2Z-0772

InterconnectSolutionsMeasurement uncertainty can be seen as the potential variability betweenmeasurements caused by all aspects of a measurement system. Objectively, the twolargest contributors to measurement uncertainty are cables and connectors as theyimpact the repeatability of a measurement.The signal passing through a cable assembly will change in magnitude and phase asthe cable is moved. Measuring a device with the cable in a certain position may yielddifferent results from the same measurement with the cable in a second, third andfourth position. The more the measurement changes with flexure, the higher the cable’smeasurement uncertainty contribution.Similarly, signal changes caused by connector mating repeatability will directly impactmeasurement uncertainty. A connector’s ability to offer repeatable connections stemsfrom pin depth and concentricity, and mating force. Recessed or non-concentric centerpins lead to reduced measurement accuracy and repeatability and hence an increaseduncertainty. Protruding center pins will damage your mating connector. Hand-threadingan RF connector often leads to inconsistent mating between connectors and anincreased measurement uncertainty.Maury Microwave’s Interconnect Solutions offering consists of cable assemblies,adapters and attenuators developed specifically to reduce measurement uncertainty,and gages and torque wrenches to ensure accurate and repeatable measurements.DATA SHEET2Z-002DATA SHEET2Z-009DATA SHEET2Z-0103Maury Microwave’s StabilityVNA Microwave/RF Cable Assemblies provide theindustry’s best phase stability with flexure resulting in improved measurement accuracyand ensuring the most repeatable and reliable measurements. StabilityVNA cables areextremely durable with excellent crush resistance while remaining very flexible leadingto enhanced longevity and to years of uninterrupted use. StabilityVNA is the ideal cablefor critical VNA measurements in R&D and lab environments.Maury Microwave’s StabilityPlus series sets the standard for high performanceruggedized cable assemblies. Designed specifically for phase-stable and amplitudestable applications, StabilityPlus offers excellent measurement repeatability even aftercable flexure. StabilityPlus’ light weight, superior flexibility and small form factor make itideal for daily use with VNA’s, test instruments, bench-top testing and ATE systems.Maury Microwave’s StabilityPlus Low Profile Microwave/RF Cable Assemblies featurethe same excellent electrical performance as our ruggedized StabilityPlus cables,but with a more compact and flexible design. StabilyPlus Low Profile cables provideexcellent phase and amplitude stability with flexure resulting in highly reliable,repeatable measurements. They are ideal for applications that require lighter weight ortighter spacing such as wafer probing, ATE systems and switch matrices.M A U R Y M I C R O W AV E / S O L U T I O N S B R O C H U R E E / 1 E - 0 0 1 / R e v 2 0 2 1 .1 0 / A
