Abstract
A passive slide screw load pull tuner structure can be used on-wafer, in millimeter-wave frequencies from 25 to 110 GHz and above. It uses special tuning probe brackets and a short slabline mounted below the tuner housing, which holds the control gear. The tuner is mounted under an angle matching the angle of the wafer-probe, is connected directly of the wafer-probe and ensures optimum tuning range.
Claims3
A method for mounting low profile and short slabline load pull tuners on wafer probe stations for highest tuning range at a DUT reference plane,
- wherein the tuners are mounted at an angle matching the angle of the wafer probe,
- whereby a coaxial connector of a tuner test port matches to and is directly attached to a coaxial connector of the wafer-probe.
