A signal coupling system interposed between a scanning probe and a measurement instrument provides signal communication between the scanning probe and the measurement instrument. The signal coupling system has a pre-stressed shape when the scanning probe is in a neutral position. The pre-stressed shape is designated to provide a characteristic impedance of the signal coupling system that varies linearly as a function of displacement of the scanning probe from the neutral position when the scanning probe is displaced, relative to the neutral position, over a designated range of displacements.

A wafer support assembly has a first wafer support plate having a first grid pattern allowing first probe access through the first grid pattern to a first side of a wafer in the wafer support assembly and a second wafer support plate having a second grid pattern allowing second probe access through the second grid pattern to a second side of the wafer in the wafer support assembly.

An interconnection includes a microcircuit package having a slot, and a receiving feature. A bead ring is fitted into the receiving feature. A center conductor extends through a dielectric support disposed in the bead ring and through the slot. The center conductor forms a coaxial transmission structure in cooperation with the bead ring and the dielectric support, and forms a slab line transmission structure in cooperation with the slot.

A slabline structure includes a first slabline having a first orientation and a second slabline having a second orientation that is rotationally offset from the first orientation. The slabline structure also includes a transition interposed between the first slabline and the second slabline.
摘要:
A vector network analysis system and a method of measuring use offset stimulus signals to stimulate a balanced device under test (DUT) to determine performance parameters. The system includes an offset stimulus source that provides a plurality of stimulus signals and a vector network analyzer. At least one stimulus signal is offset from another stimulus signal of the plurality in one or both of frequency and time-varying phase. The offset stimulus source includes a first signal source and a second signal source that respectively provides the offset stimulus signals. The method of measuring includes generating the offset stimulus signals and applying the offset stimulus signals to a balanced port of the DUT to stimulate the DUT. The performance parameters are determined from measurements of the offset stimulus signals and one or more response signals from the stimulated DUT.

A routing barium-ferrite tuned resonator filter integrated with an image-enhanced, single-balanced mixer. The barium-ferrite tuned resonator filter is preferably a four-sphere barium-ferrite tuned preselector which is integrated with a harmonically mixed, image-enhanced, single-balanced mixer to provide a high level of dynamic range in a harmonically mixed front end. An input resonator of the preselector in combination with a dual PIN diode switch switches low-frequency input signals (e.g., 0 to 26.5 GHz) to a low-frequency output. For high-frequency input signals (e.g., 26.5 to 50 GHz), the four-sphere barium-ferrite tuned preselector is combined with the image-enhanced, single-balanced mixer which incorporates a GaAs monolithic diode bridge integrated circuit. This provides a front end component of a high-performance portable spectrum analyzer.
