Title: Peter C. Walters and Hyper-Frequency Calibration

Introduction

Peter C. Walters is an inventor associated with Bowen Island, Canada. His recorded patent concerns calibration for measuring the dispersion parameters of integrated-circuit elements on a substrate. Walters is listed as having 1 patent and as having worked with U.S. Philips Corporation.

Latest Patents

Walters’s patent, “Calibration Device for Hyper-Frequency Adjustment of the Reference,” describes a device for adjusting the reference planes of measurement equipment used to characterize circuit elements integrated on a substrate.

The device places standard patterns and compatible probe accesses on the same substrate. It includes at least two identical series of parallel-line patterns, such as short-circuit, open, or load lines. The patterns’ arrangement aligns their accesses within each series while positioning the series in opposing orientations. Their ends define facing reference planes separated by a specified distance, with offset ends arranged to accommodate the substrate’s thickness. This configuration is intended to support calibration of the measurement apparatus.

Career Highlights

A key documented highlight of Walters’s inventive work is this calibration approach, which addresses the practical challenge of establishing reference planes for high-frequency measurements on integrated circuits. His patent record also connects him professionally with U.S. Philips Corporation.
