    Abstract

    Several current and planned scientific, commercial, and military applications require millimetre wave (30-300 GHz) components, for example very low noise receivers. In Millimetre Wave Laboratory of Finland - MilliLab, VTT Information Technology have been developed state-of-the-art measurement facilities for on-wafer S-parameter, noise figure, gain, and noise parameter measurements. These measurements can be carried out up to 110 GHz in the temperature range of 213 K to 573 K. Cryogenic S-parameter measurements can be done from 15 K to 300 K and also up to 110 GHz. As an example, a noise figure and gain measurements of the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and noise parameter measurements of High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) at room temperature are presented. Also, cryogenic S-parameter measurements of a PIN diode phase shifter are shown.
