White Paper: High Accuracy, High Voltage Measurement – April, 2019
Introduction One of the first principals learned as an engineering student is the “observer effect” which states that simply observing a situation or phenomenon necessarily changes that phenomenon. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. Accurate high-voltage measurement is a clear example of the validity of this theory. The accuracy of the resulting measurements is affected by three important elements: environmental factors, errors that are introduced by the measurement probe, and the intrinsic accuracy and performance of the measuring instrument. This article will address each of [...]

Proforma 300i SA Video Shows Semiconductor Metrology
MTI Instruments, a worldwide leader in precision measurement solutions, has released a YouTube video that shows how its Proforma™ 300i SA semi-automated measurement tool measures silicon carbide wafers for semiconductors. George Relan, MTI’s Global Director of Sales, demonstrates how the desktop metrology system provides non-contact full wafer scanning and 3D mapping of measurement features such as thickness and shape. MTI’s video also shows how the Proforma 300i SA interfaces with an external computer and provides powerful Windows-based software for analysis and reporting. By utilizing MTI push/pull technology, the Proforma 300i SA doesn’t require the semiconductor wafers to have a [...]
The Top Five Trends Impacting Test and Measurement for 2019
With 2019 upon us, we know everyone is thinking about what's next in the Test and Measurement industry. We also know that without test and measurement equipment, engineers can't accurately and consistently prove that their mechanical or electronic devices perform as required. When they don't work, engineers also need to determine why and how to fix them. All of this leads to innovative thinking on how to test and measure even better by taking advantage of rapidly growing trends such as digitization, software, additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and new sensing applications that are driving advances in T&M. [...]
41CA: Dual Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier
Convert accelerometer charge signals into voltage signals Request Quote Download Brochure The 41CA Two Channel Charge Amplifier is used to convert accelerometer charge signals into voltage signals. Converted signals are then easily used by the PBS-4100 family of vibration analyzers. Two channels of amplification are provided. Each channel has separate gain and switchable test signals. Input Signal Configuration: Differential or Single Ended Channel gain settings: 1, 4, 10 mV/pC Highpass filter options: 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 Hz Lowpass filter options: 10K, 5K, 2K, 500 Hz What Stands Out With [...]

Engine Vibration and Balancing Principles
What do you think when you’re flying home, cruising at 30,000 feet and the drinks have just been served? Our engineers think about the ripple in the glass. That ripple signals vibration and is an indication that the engine may be in need of a balance. The MTII’s PBS-4100+ Series Turbine Vibration Analyzer/Balancing System was developed to ensure that Turbine engines run as efficiently as possible. Excessive vibration is detrimental for a host of reasons: energy intended for useful output is instead expended on the vibration vibration manifests as acoustic energy (noise), again wasting otherwise useful energy excessive [...]
Common Test and Calibration Uses of the 1510A Portable Signal Generator
Introduction As one of the most versatile and powerful hand-held signal generators on the market, the 1510A is a two-channel, battery-powered, microprocessor-controlled direct digital signal generator. It has an average battery life of 3 hours of continuous use. Weighing in at under two pounds, makes it ideal for use in the field. There are many different ways this sophisticated device can be leveraged to perform precise test and calibration of equipment, wires, cables, sensors and much more. Use Case #1 | Sensor Simulation You can simulate sensors during system development, bring-up, and test. Often during [...]
Increase SiC Wafer Production Yield
Demand for SiC wafers is growing rapidly and production needs to keep up. Speeding up production can result in higher defect rates without the proper inspection equipment in place during the R&D process, where poor verification of your process tools can dramatically reduce yield. MTI Instruments 300iSA system can help measure TTV, flatness, bow and warp of up to 20 wafers per hour. Our solution helps you perform wafer inspection verifications at scale and increases the throughput of your production yield as the demand grows for 100-200mm diameter wafers. Finding defects at volume can be difficult, but MTI’s superior [...]
