            Abstract : 
The paper presents new on-wafer probe capabilities which offer improved measurement repeatability and calibration accuracy in the WR-10 through WR-5 waveguide bands. New types of membrane probe tips to 220 GHz and new customized impedance standard substrates have been developed. These elements are incorporated in a family of wafer probes with improved repeatability and accuracy throughout the waveguide bands. Measured results will be presented in the paper
