When an electrical circuit is enclosed in a metal package large enough to support resonant modes within the frequencies of operation of the enclosed circuit, coupling between the circuit and these resonant cavity modes may disturb circuit operation. These
Two methods are used to de-embed coplanar probes using offset coplanar waveguide shorts and transmission lines. The accuracy of the de-embedded measurements is verified. The S parameters of lumped standards provided by the manufacturer of the probes are
A transition between a coplanar probe and a microstrip transmission line is reported. The transition is significant in that it does not require substrate via holes. A set of microstrip impedance standards were developed for the purpose of de-embedding the

At millimeter wavelengths uncontrollable parasitics are of ten large enough to significantly degrade circuit performance when they are not compensated by adjustable elements. It is difficult to add adjustable elements to planar millimeter-wave circuits
The effects of strain on flux pinning in superconductors are discussed. Significant differences between the strain scaling law, temperature scaling law, and the flux-line-shearing model of Kramer are demonstrated. The strain scaling law is more general
A planar, subharmonically-pumped, hybrid millimeter-wave receiver with integral antenna is described. Coplanar waveguide filters are used to isolate the ports and provide image enhancement. The integral planar antenna has 12 dB gain and is suited for use
