What’s at Stake?

Inaccurate RF doesn’t just skew data—it compromises your entire process.

In semiconductor manufacturing, tight control over RF power is critical to achieving uniform results, maximizing yield, and maintaining tool-to-tool consistency. When your measurements drift or lack traceability, the risks multiply—miscalibrated generators, unstable processes, and wafers that don’t meet spec.

The Bird 4027 Series delivers ±1.0% accuracy and NIST-traceable calibration, giving engineers the confidence to trust their measurements and keep production on track.

Because in high-precision environments, uncertainty isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly.
