  • Abstract
    A vector-voltage scanning force probe capable of noncontact high-frequency amplitude and phase measurement at internal points of MMICs is presented. Accurate localised measurements can be made without complex calibration or circuit depassivation. A probe with a 10 GHz bandwidth, <1 fF load and a submicrometre spatial resolution is demonstrated
