Seam Sealing Spectrum Microwave s inventory of sealing alternatives includes both seam sealing and projection welding which provide a very reliable hermetic seal, while maintaining a cool, stable environment for the package and its temperature sensitive contents. Hermetic sealing also maintains environmental integrity to pass the rigors of MIL-PRF-383 methods 101 conditions A & C for both Gross and Fine leak detection. Designed & Tested To Perform Our thick and thin film amplifiers are designed and tested to meet the reliability and testing requirements of MIL-PRF-383 and the screening requirements of MIL-STD-883. We are also equipped to perform Groups A, B, C and D QCI qualification of our hybrid microelectronic devices. We routinely perform MIL-PRF-383 Class H qualification testing on many of our amplifiers thereby proving out the high reliability designs Spectrum Microwave is known for in the industry.detection. Temperature Cycling Cycling amplifiers from - to 8 C is often required when the amplier may be exposed to extreme operating conditions. Laser Sealing Unlike other amplifier companies we offer laser sealing for both hermetic and environmental integrity. Vibration Testing On-site random and sinusoidal vibration to g, along with shock testing allow our engineers to test their designs under extreme conditions early in the design process without waiting to schedule outside testing services. Multiple Tests Spectrum Microwave employs testing over temperature to include not merely functionality, but parametric testing as well, as illustrated on this tuner. Capabilities include: Conversion gain Compression tests Spurious testing Linearity testing IP2, IP3, and IP2H LO leakage testing Current Draw Image rejection Noise figure Group delay Windowed gain ripple
