Patent ID: 6987398

Claim:
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, second, and third device-probing ends, said assembly comprising: (a) a base having an upper face; (b) respective first, second, and third conductive planar probing areas located on said upper face in spaced-apart relation to each other and arranged so that said first, second, and third-device probing ends can be simultaneously placed on said first, second, and third conductive planar probing areas, respectively; (c) a reference junction; and (d) a high-frequency transmission structure at least partially embedded in said base and connecting said first, second, and third conductive planar probing areas to said reference junction such that for each position that said device-probing ends can occupy while remaining on the corresponding areas, a high-frequency transmission line is provided by said transmission structure between said device-probing ends and said reference junction.
