Abstract:
An assembly for use in evaluating signal conditions in a probe measurement network, said probe measurement network being of the type having spaced-apart first and second device-probing ends, said assembly comprising:(a) a base having an upper face;(b) respective first and second conductive planar probing areas located on said upper face in spaced-apart, mutually coplanar relationship to each other and arranged so that said first and second device-probing ends can be simultaneously placed on said first and second conductive planar probing areas, respectively;(c) a reference junction; and(d) a high-frequency transmission structure connecting said first and second conductive planar probing areas to said reference junction such that for each position that said device-probing ends can occupy while on the corresponding areas, a transmission line of substantially constant high-frequency transmission characteristic is provided by said transmission structure between said device-probing ends and said reference junction.
