Meander-Type Lines: An Innovative Design for On-Wafer TRL Calibration for mmW and sub-mmW Frequencies Measurements

Résumé

In this work we introduce novel transmission line standards for on-wafer TRL calibration employing a meandering architecture, which aims to keep the inter-probe distance constant and avoid any probe separation during the measurement process, yet establishing the required signal path length between the ports. Measurements will be performed up to 500 GHz on passive de-embedding structures and on a SiGe HBT; they will be calibrated with both a classic approach and this novel "meander-type" technique. Furthermore, measurements will be evaluated by means of electromagnetic (EM) simulation: for this purpose, we will make use of Ansys HFSS on passive test structures. Finally, a novel joint EM-SPICE co-simulation analysis will allow to provide simulated data for a transistor, thus extending our study to active devices; this will allow a complete characterization of the measurements and an insight on the physical limits of our calibration technique.
