  • Abstract
    A novel internal-node waveform probing technique has been demonstrated on a MMIC. The error of the measurement and its perturbance to circuit operation was estimated and verified to be less than 20%. Valuable insight was obtained from the variation of waveforms as a function of frequency, drive and location.<>
