W. Mertin et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF A MMIC BY DIRECT AND INDIRECT ELECTROOPTIC SAMPLING AND BY NETWORK ANALYZER MEASUREMENTS, Microelectronic engineering, 24(1-4), 1994, pp. 377-384
The internal frequency characteristic of a monolithic integrated 1-12
GHz traveling-wave amplifier based on GaAs-substrate is measured by us
ing the direct (internal) and indirect (external) electro-optic sampli
ng techniques. For the first time, an experimental comparison of both
techniques is made. Moreover, the results are compared with convention
al network analyzer measurements and simulations.
