  • Abstract
    Active probes for 2-port on-wafer network analysis within 70-230 GHz are presented. The probe contains an integrated circuit, based on nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL), which has all elements of an S-parameter test set. 2-port measurements with these active probes were carried out. Compared to earlier active probe systems, measurement accuracy is greatly improved.
