  • Abstract
    A TRL-calibration kit enabling S-parameter characterization of membrane circuits has been developed for the WR-03 band. The TRL-design features 3 μm thick GaAs membrane circuits packaged in E-plane split waveguide blocks. Membrane filters have been characterized after the calibration.
