The newest online column is “Minimizing mobile phone production test expense.” Organizing chipset suppliers, mobile phone manufacturers, and test and measurement specialists and then having them work together as early as possible in the production process lowers production test expense and ensures a better quality result, says Anton Meßmer, director of mobile radio testers at Rohde & Schwarz.

Another new column is “Three micron precision location of opto-electronic assemblies on a substrate.” Some applications require multiple components to be bonded to a substrate with very high accuracy. Ralph Schachler, AEMtec GmbH, Berlin; and Martin Rogge, FINETECH GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin, describe a method for bonding large opto-electronic modules to a heatsink with an accuracy of less than three microns.
