Abstract:
A shielded probe for measuring the electrical characteristics of integrated circuits or other microelectronic devices at high frequencies. The probe may include a probe tip that extends through a dielectric substrate that supports on a first surface a signal path to test instrumentation and on a second surface a ground path that shields both the signal path and the probe tip.
Abstract:
A direct current and a modulation signal are simultaneously applied to contact pads on a device under test, such as a laser diode, with a probe that reduces signal distortion and power dissipation by transmitting a modulated signal through an impedance matching resistor and transmitting of a direct current over a second signal path that avoids the impedance matching resistor.

Abstract:
A direct current and a modulation signal are simultaneously applied to contact pads on a wafer to test certain devices, such as a laser diode. A probe, probing system, and method of probing reduces signal distortion and power dissipation by transmitting a modulated signal to the device-under-test through an impedance matching resistor and transmitting of a direct current to the device-under-test over a signal path that avoids the impedance matching resistor.

Abstract:
A method of compensating a calibration for a vector network analyzer includes performing calibrations on at least a pair of ports to determine error terms associated with each port wherein at least one of the error terms is based upon selecting the reactance of the load standard from a set of potential values in a manner such that the reference reactance errors are reduced.
