Novel MMIC Source-Impedance Tuners for On-Wafer Microwave Noise-Parameter Measurements - Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
Novel monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit source-impedance tuners for use in on-wafer noise-parameter measurement systems are reported, which can be incorporated into a wafer probe tip. These eliminate the effect of cable and probe losses on the magnitude of a reflection coefficient that can be presented to the input of an on-wafer test device, thus enabling higher magnitudes to be synthesized than for conventional tuners, and with the potential of increasing noise-parameter measurement accuracy.

متن کاملTesting microwave devices under different source impedance values-a novel technique for on-line measurement of source and device reflection coefficients
This paper describes a new approach for fast and accurate determination of the source reflection coefficient in microwave source-pull measurements. To the authors' knowledge, this is the only technique that allows the simultaneous measurement of the source and the device-under-test input reflection coefficients. A traditional vector network analyzer is used as a four-channel receiver. The calib...
متن کاملA Flexible Microwave De-Embedding Method for On-Wafer Noise Parameter Characterization of MOSFETs
A flexible noise de-embedding method for on-wafer microwave measurements of silicon MOSFETs is presented in this study. We use the open, short, and thru dummy structures to subtract the parasitic effects from the probe pads and interconnects of a fixtured MOS transistor. The thru standard are used to extract the interconnect parameters for subtracting the interconnect parasitics in gate, drain,...
