Mesuro Ltd, a spin-off from Cardiff University’s Centre for High Frequency Engineering that provides RF testing equipment and device measurement services, says that a £700,000 funding round completed during the second half of 2012 has enabled a move to the Pencoed Technology Park, within the Sony UK Technology Centre, located just off the M4 near Cardiff, UK. The facility provides modern, high-quality office space and facilities, says the firm. Furthermore, the relocation enables Mesuro, for the first time, to centralize its office and engineering-based functions under one roof. The newly designated engineering laboratory is available for customer measurement activities, research & development and prototyping work.
“Following the recent investment, these new facilities will enable Mesuro to capitalize on the huge opportunity-base in front of us, in terms of our ability to demonstrate the benefits of Mesuro’s Active Harmonic Load Pull technology in conjunction with WaveForm Engineering to potential customers; allow Mesuro to continue developing the product portfolio; and provide enhanced support facilities to our existing customers,” said Mesuro’s VP of sales Simon Mathias. “We are looking forward to accelerating the growth of the company over the next 12 months.”
Mesuro offers its customers the following measurement capabilities:
- high-power test to 4GHz fundamental – up to 100W CW;
- microwave harmonic capability to X-band fundamental;
- fundamental only facilities to 67GHz; and
- on-wafer capabilities to 40GHz.
The improved load-pull facilities will use the firm’s open-loop active harmonic and WaveForm Engineering technology offering customers the opportunity to obtain the data required for improved amplifier designs, says the firm. The systems will also be capable of extracting the Cardiff behavioural Model formulations, suitable for use within the CAD environments employed by many designers.
