“…As the beam spot on the planar antennas is rather sensitive to alignment errors (this is akin to the conventional contact-probe landing accuracy), illumi nation of each non-contact probe slightly differs from one another through the calibration process. Effects of such errors on measurement accuracy can be minimized using multiple, shorted CPW lines as calibration standards, as described previously in [5] using contact probes. However, different from [5], the contact-probe landing pads are replaced by planar butterfly antennas in our setup as shown in Fig.…”

“…The basic probe concept, illustrated in figure 1, consists of a milled split-block waveguide housing and an integrated dropin silicon chip with integrated waveguide probe, mounting/alignment tabs, bias filter, and transition to coplanar waveguide contact tips [3][4][5]. The probe housing includes a waveguide channel that extends from the housing flange (where the probe interfaces with external measurement equipment) to the probe chip (illustrated in figure 1(b)), terminating in a backshort.…”

“…However, due to the extremely small dimensions and reduced stiffness of the probe, it is impractical to determine the contact condition by observing scratch marks on test pads as is done at lower frequencies. In a previous work, a load cell has been used to control the contact force [8]. However, it is difficult to incorporate a load cell with the standard probe station, which may require significant modification to the test system.…”
