Application Note: On-Wafer Multiport Calibration Using The ENA Series Network Analyzer With Cascade Microtech Probe System

Source: Cascade Microtech, Inc.

By Cascade Microtech, Inc.

Combining the ENA Series Network Analyzer with Cascade Microtech's dual tip Air Coplanar® Probe (ACP), you can evaluate on-wafer multiport balanced components accurately. The ENA Series offers built-in balanced measurements, matching circuit simulation and port characteristics impedance conversion, all of which deliver both multiport and balanced components evaluations. Furthermore, the dual tip ACP provides a precisely aligned second signal contact built right into the Air Coplanar tip and connector block. This innovative tip technology provides outstanding compliance and tip visibility which subsequently enables you to precisely contact the balanced port ensuring superior impedance control.

  • Accurate multiport probe measurements with full 4-port error correction using the NEW ISS
  • On-wafer Mixed-mode S-parameter measurements
