An approach for microprobe measurement and modeling for millimeter-wave application

This paper describes a simple method to check the performance of microprobe, since it will directly affect the accuracy of measurement results. The two-port S-parameters of the microprobe are determined by one-port S-parameters measurement using HP 8510XF Network Analyzer. Based on the measurement, an equivalent circuit model is given and good agreement between the measurement results and modeling results is obtained.
