Abstract :
This paper presents new experimental investigations of the influence of calibration substrate boundary conditions on CPW transmission line characteristics and calibration accuracy at millimeter wavelengths. A new configuration that decreases insertion loss of CPW transmission lines and improves calibration accuracy is suggested.
