TUMA12: Comparison of Banded and Single-Sweep measurements to 220 GHz

Presentation Abstract
Developments in coaxial connector design have now extended the available frequency range for systems relying on the TEM mode to beyond 200 GHz, historically the domain of waveguides. This makes it possible to compare measurements made using probes employing these connectors with the previous state of the art probes using waveguides. This talk will present these results and test methodologies and discuss benefits accruing from using a single-sweep system, besides the obvious reduction in test time and inventory cost from not having to maintain stock of several banded devices.
