Abstract :
The feasibility of low cost, non-interfering thermoelectric measurements on microwave devices is examined. The classical difficulty induced by the presence of metallic thermocouples is avoid by the use of bi-metal access lines, in a manner that DC Seebeck voltages can be de-embedded from the global signal available on the external ports.<>
