Camera Captures Smallest Details With
20 MP Sensor
When the smallest details
are important for applications, high-resolution
images with particularly
low noise are required.
Both are features that make
the Sony IMX183 20 MP
sensor stand out. IDS offers
this sensor in the uEye CP camera family with USB3 Vision interface. The new models are well-suited for challenging image
evaluations and are also extremely compact thanks to their dimensions of only 29 × 29 × 29 millimeters.
The rolling shutter sensor from the Sony STARVIS series
delivers fast 19.5 fps and, thanks to BSI technology ("backside-illumination"), ensures outstanding image quality and
accurate image reproduction-even under poor or fluctuating lighting conditions. Thanks to the particularly detailed and
low-noise images, the camera is suitable for applications such
as surface and display inspections, medical technology applications and more. Integration into the uEye SE family with
USB3 Vision interface is already planned. Then, in addition
to versions with housings, board level variants with different
lens holder options will also be available.
The Vision cameras can be supported, for example, by the
new IDS peak SDK (Software Development Kit). It is based on
the EMVA and AIA standards and can be used with all GigE
Vision and USB3 Vision cameras-regardless of the manufacturer. To ensure a smooth start, IDS peak comes with numerous
source code examples.

5G Test Solution for Beamforming ICs
Production testing of mmWave devices presents a significant
challenge. With the development of 5G NR, beamforming is
becoming a common method for implementing phased

antennas.
Device manufacturers are now developing
multi-port beamforming
devices with 5, 9, and even
17 mmWave ports, with the
focus on providing these
devices in volume for the
evolving technology of 5G.
For production test applications, device vendors are
looking for test solutions that can support multi-site, high-performance VNA test capability.
Marvin Test Systems has developed the TS-960e-5G to
address the production test requirements of these devices,
including:
◗◗ 5G laboratory performance with production test speed
◗◗ DUT interface compatible with both device handlers and
manual device insertion
◗◗ Support for multi-site test capability
◗◗ Receiver/tester interface that is reliable and repeatable
for performing VNA measurements to 50 GHz
Accurate RF measurement performance requires that the
test system and load board for the DUT be calibrated. The
TS-960e-5G test system has adopted the one-port Automatic
Fixture Removal (AFR) calibration method which extracts Sparameters for the receiver to open fixture (DUT removed
from socket) path via the use of time domain gating. This technique provides the means to move the calibration plane from
the test instrumentation ports to the DUT interface, providing
accurate S-parameter measurements of the DUT.
Successful implementation of the AFR method requires
that the instrument to DUT bandwidth be at least as high as the
DUT measurement bandwidth (44 GHz for mmWave 5G devices). This requirement extends to the DUT load board which
requires the use of high-performance board laminates as well
as DUT sockets and receiver interface connections. Employing
the AFR method eliminates the need for calibration fixtures /
standards which can contribute to measurement uncertainty
and additional test system cost.

Spectrum Analyzer and Vector
Signal Generator for RF Signal and
Measurement
Signal Hound announces, the SM200B 20 GHz spectrum analyzer and the VSG60A 6 GHz signal generator.
Signal Hound's new SM200B offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture, available
through block transfer of a 2-second I/Q buffer over USB 3.0
to the PC. This added 2-seconds of segmented I/Q capture
