Submillimeter Wave S-Parameter Characterization of Integrated Membrane Circuits
Journal article, 2011

We demonstrate S-parameter characterization of membrane circuits in the WR-03 frequency band (220-325 GHz) utilizing thru-reflect-line (TRL) -calibration technique. The TRL calibration kit design features 3 μm thick GaAs membrane circuits packaged in E-plane split waveguide blocks with the reference planes inside the membrane circuit structure. A 300 GHz membrane ring resonator filter circuit has been characterized by applying the proposed calibration kit, showing good agreement with simulations.
