In this paper, we present a thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration/de-embedding kit integrated in the back-end-of-line of a SiGe technology, which allows direct calibration at the first metallization layer, thus moving the reference planes as close as p

In this paper, we propose a method based on 3-D electromagnetic simulations, for the characteristic impedance extraction of transmission lines employed in TRL calibration, focusing on lines integrated in silicon technologies. The accuracy achieved wi

In this contribution we describe the accuracy improvement achievable using a vector corrected, power calibrated test-bench when measuring mm-wave non-linear devices. The absence of automatic level control in commercially available network analyzer fr

In this contribution we analyze the definition of reference planes in probe-level calibrations. The removal of the probe type from the calibration definition is presented first analyzing the transition discontinuities and defining to which extent the

In this contribution we analyze the accuracy improvements of Reciprocal SOL planar calibrations when employing full-wave EM simulation to extract the standard's models. The calibration accuracy is benchmarked with the conventional (polynomial fit) st

In this paper, we present a simplified calibration procedure to obtain on-wafer power levelled s-parameters when employing VNA extender modules. The approach presented removes the required calibration at the module interface (i.e., waveguide), by ass

Hydrodynamic slugs in pipelines are usually analyzed by using a steady-state flow assurance simulator as a first approximation. The pipelines are then modeled in transient simulation software to get more accurate values. Comparisons between an empiri

In this paper we present the large signal measurements and model verification of SiGe BiCMOS PA cells in the 60 GHz ISM band. The characterization is performed employing a custom developed mixed signal active load-pull test-bench. The measurement sys
