  • Abstract
    We present a semi-numerical method to extract the loss tangent of a low-loss microwave substrate material from on-wafer scattering-parameter measurements of coplanar waveguides of different lengths. We demonstrate the method using test structures built on a SiO2 wafer for frequencies up to 125 GHz.
