“on wafer" measurement set-up
The upgrade to 110 GHz of the 65 GHz of the set-up consists in 2 steps
 the upgrade of the VNA;
the upgrade of the “on wafer" measurement set-up;
The existing 65 GHz VNA was delivered by Anritsu and the existing on wafer set-up was delivered by Suss Microtec (see the figures).

For this reason the upgrades could be performed only from unique supplier (Anritsu for the VNA and Suss Microtech for the on wafer set-up. The acquisition procedure was “negotiation without previous announce publication” and the acquisition criteria was “lowest price” (Romanian public acquisition law).
The acquisition procedure was started in November with the 2 suppliers. After the negotiations, contracts for the acquisition of the upgrade of the VNA was signed at the end of December 2008 with Anritsu’s representative in Romania (Romkatel).
For the on wafer set up upgrade up to 110GHz contract has been signed with Suss Microtec (Germany) in December 2008.

The vector network analyzer for 0.8...65 GHz was purchased through the CEEX Programme, Module IV. The up-grade up to 110 GHz was performed using) in the frame of the European FP7 project MIMOMEMS and with the support of the national project SIMMCA (Capacities Programme)
