xx = input connector type, yy = output connector type.
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.

It comes down the application and the level of accuracy needed.
Calibration should be performed on a regular schedule, typically every 6 to 12 months depending on usage and application criticality.
Traceability to a recognized standards agency like NIST (USA), KRISS (Korea), PTB (Germany), NMIJ (Japan) etc. ensures that all sensors, whether newly manufactured or recalibrated, adhere to a consistent, verifiable measurement standard.
This enables users to confidently compare results across different sensors, facilities, and timeframes, knowing that every calibration is anchored to the same trusted primary reference.
Both input and output connectors must be equipped on the sensor to maintain the guaranteed ±1% accuracy.
If connectors show signs of wear or if measurement accuracy degrades, contact Bird’s technical support or sales team for guidance on replacement and recalibration.
