Abstract
A device for measuring and/or injecting a high frequency signal, such as a 20 GHz signal from and/or into a system, is provided. The device includes a connector coupled to a coaxial cable at one end. A relatively small, low inductive rectangular member is coupled to the connector at the other end. A conductive element is coupled to the rectangular member and is used for measuring and infecting the high frequency signal from and/or into a microwave transmission line positioned on a substrate. First and second rigid prongs are coupled to the rectangular member and are inserted into respective ground openings on the substrate. A network analyzer may be coupled to the cable for analyzing and generating the high frequency signal.
