Probe Station Accessories

The GGB Industries, Inc., line of CALIBRATION SUBSTRATES allows the user to calibrate any GGB Industries, Inc., microwave Picoprobe® at the probe tip. The underlying principal of the calibration of a measurement system is to provide accurate known standards to which the measurement system can be connected. Each calibration substrate contains highly precise elements for calibrating out the unavoidable errors and losses in a microwave network analyser, its associated cabling, and the microwave probe to ensure accurate on-wafer testing.
