摘要： A microwave wafer probe having a replaceable planar transmission line probe tip which detachably connects to a planar transmission line circuit board within the probe head. The circuit board may include passive and/or active electrical circuit components interconnecting its conductors which, due to the detachable interconnection with the probe tip, do not have to be replaced if the probe tip should be damaged. The detachable interconnection between the probe tip and the circuit board is tolerant to misalignment of the two elements because the interconnected end portions of the respective conductors are shaped so as to maintain the impedance between the two elements substantially constant despite misalignment. Preferably, both the circuit board and the detachable tip include coplanar transmission lines interconnected by compressing the overlapping end portions of their conductors together.

摘要： A high-frequency probe comprising a semirigid coaxial line which terminates in an active circuit assembly. The coaxial line's outer conductor is connected to a box while its inner conductor is connected to an active circuit chip. A signal contact needle is attached to the active circuit chip and extends linearly with the coaxial line. The signal needle is held in place with a mass of epoxy filled with silica microballoons, providing a low-capacitance mount.A ground contact needle is connected to a wiper which contacts the box, thus providing a direct, and short, path between the coaxial line's outer conductor and the ground contact needle.

摘要： A launcher having an outer conductor and a tapered central contact pin within a bore of the outer conductor connects coaxial transmission lines with microstrip transmission lines. The launcher, when used with a microstrip transmission line having a specific dielectric substrate thickness, provides matching of both the characteristic impedance and the electro-magnetic field configuration. The launcher also may be used effectively with microstrip transmission lines having different substrate thicknesses An adjustable stop transversely positions the upper surface of the microstrip transmission line relative to the launcher's outer conductor to counteract capacitive discontinuities caused by different substrate thicknesses. Although such adjustments flex the central contact pin transversely, thus changing the launcher's characteristic impedance, the launcher provides better overall matching between the two types of transmission lines. The contact tip of the pin has a cylindrical contact surface coaxial with the pin, thus forming a repeatable line contact with the upper conductor of the microstrip transmission line enabling consistent results. The bore of the outer conductor is at an angle with respect to the coaxial transmission line jack, allowing the tapered pin to extend coaxially with the jack so that the pin can be drilled and tapped on its center axis, simplifying its mass production.

摘要： Integrated capacitors provide more than one capacitor on a single dielectric substrate. A dielectric substrate has a conductive backplane on one side and two or more conductive capacitor plates on the opposite side. The integrated capacitors may be mounted on a shield wall which has a through hole so that one capacitor is connected to the shield wall and another forms a coupling capacitor via the hole between two stages on opposite sides of the shield wall.

摘要： An improved loop coupled YIG resonator has a coupling loop of three sections, a loop section partially encircling a YIG resonator, and two straight end sections. The end sections together with a ground plane enclosing one end of the resonator cavity form a transmission line, the characteristic impedance of which is determined by the distance of the end section above the ground plane. The characteristic impedance is chosen to match the transmission line input to which the coupling loop is connected.
