摘要: We study for the first time errors in on-wafer scattering parameter measurements caused by parasitic microstrip-like mode propagation conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CB-CPW). determine upper bound these typical CPW devices such as a matched load, an open circuit, and transmission line section. To this end, we develop electromagnetic-simulations-based multimode three-port model transition between air-coplanar probe CB-CPW. Subsequently, apply to examine device S parameters de-embedded from affected MSL mode. Our analysis demonstrates that CB-CPW may significantly deteriorate S-parameters measured on
