  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate the wideband microwave properties of standard coplanar microwave probes using popular one- and two-port measurement methods. We illustrate the importance of accurate standard definitions and demonstrate the impact of: the substrate material on the probe characteristics in a frequency range up to 50 GHz.
