RF, Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Modules for Precise Test and Measurement

bsw TestSystems & Consulting AG is a system provider for test and measurement serving the semiconductor, electronics and telecommunications industries as well as universities and research institutions. Together with specialized partners, we supply a broad range of active and passive RF, microwave and millimeter-wave components.

Our focus areas: RF test for signal integrity, tuner measurement technology, RF contacting, and DC/CV parameter extraction. This ensures tailored building blocks that integrate efficiently into lab, development and production environments.

Capabilities & Solutions

We combine the right building blocks into a coherent, modularly expandable test solution—including practical recommendations on protection, calibration and contacting elements. If required, we support your team with services around measurement and targeted training—from commissioning to reliable day-to-day operation.

Benefits for Your Application

You receive more than RF components—you get a solution: consultative selection, well-matched test setups with contacting and accessories, plus support during commissioning and optimization. This reduces integration effort, lowers risk and accelerates time-to-result.

Your Advantages at a Glance

• Practice over theory – proven RF expertise in signal integrity, tuner measurement technology and contacting that moves setups forward
• Vendor-independent selection – access to a broad partner network; we combine the exact building blocks for your use case
• Designed to scale – solutions that scale seamlessly from development through characterization to production
• Faster to measurement readiness – a clear selection and integration process that shortens iterations and delivers results sooner
• Modular and expandable – compatible with future setups
• Cross-vendor portfolio – a broad partner network for precise solutions

Our Product Portfolio at a Glance

• Adapters, connectors & contacting solutions – defined transitions, stable re-contacting, less rework in the setup
