Abstract :
The authors present on-wafer photoconductive sampling and characterization of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with a monolithically integrated optical test structure. Reasonable agreement has been achieved between the conventional network analyzer measurement and two optical test results. The S-parameter characterization of a nonlinear transmission line has also been demonstrated.<>
