    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely attain sufficient scrubbing pressure and reliable tilting and returning effect of each contact in a membrane probing assembly.
    SOLUTION: The membrane probing assembly 42 includes a membrane assembly 72 having a central region 80 interconnected to a support 54 by an elastomeric layer 98. Flexible traces form data/signal lines 76 to contacts 88 on the central region 80. Each contact 88 comprises a rigid beam 90 and a bump 92 located in off-centered location on the beam 90, which bump 92 includes a contacting portion 93. After initial touchdown of these contacting portions 93, further overtravel of pads 100 causes each beam 90 to independently tilt locally so that different portions of each beam 90 move different distances relative to the support 54 thus driving each contact into lateral scrubbing movement across the pads 100.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To correct the error factor of an error model, which involves N error factors, by reducing a modeled error with new error factor obtained by changing at least one of the error factors of quantity N. CONSTITUTION: A theoretical network analyzer 22 is connected to a device (DUT) 24 to be tested, and an error network 28 for modeling the characteristics of a transmission line and a testing instrument inserted between the DUT 24 and an actual measuring surface 30, probe head and other circuits is put between a desired measuring surface 26 and an analyzer 22. In the error model having the error factors of quantity N, at least one of the error factors of quantity N is changed to obtain a new error factor. By reducing modeled errors with the new error factor, it is possible to correct the error due to the error factor of the error model.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To minimize the variation of impedance by using an overlapped end part of a different shape between respective signal lines/ground lines of transmission lines for interface structure for connecting a pair of shared face transmission lines. CONSTITUTION: In a pair of shared face transmission lines 20, 20a, each end part 24 or 25 of one transmission line 20 has lateral dimensions larger than the dimensions of the end part 24a or 25a of the other transmission line 20a and the end parts 24a, 25a have lateral dimensions remarkably reduced from the remaining parts of respective lines. In the case of overlapping narrow corresponding end part 24a or 25a, respective end parts 24, 25 have excessively conductive materials 21', 23', and when respective transmission lines 21, 21a are unaligned in the lateral direction, the lateral dimensions 26 of the signal line end part and a lateral interval between the signal line end part and a ground line end part are included within the valid limit of non-alignment. Consequently the impedance variation of the interface can be minimized.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To compensate reactance accurately by measuring the level and phase of each compound reflection factor at each multiple frequency of an impedance reference value. CONSTITUTION: Three primary impedance reference values provided on an impedance reference substance are contacted with a probe chip 20 and the individual reflection factor is measured to determine three initial error coefficients Ed, Er, and Es according to a convention. Then, in addition to the three primary impedance standard values, in this case, a fourth impedance standard value can be an open-circuited or short-circuited stab, a capacitor with a high Q, or an inductance with a high Q. After the initial error coefficients are adjusted by this system and reactance generated by a superposition distance 42 is compensated, the superposition distance is retained during the next measurement by the probe chip 20 of a device during next measurement, thus retaining the same reactance and hence enabling the adjusted error coefficient to compensate reactance applied at the next measurement accurately.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To pass a high-frequency signal without power loss by providing an adjustable stopper which positions the top surface of the microstrip transmission line in a changeable state as to the external conductor of the launcher and a tapered contact pin which comes into linear contact with the upper conductor of the microstrip transmission line. CONSTITUTION: The shape of the launcher 10 is so optimized that the tapered pin 42 maintains characteristic impedance along the length of a hole 28, and the launcher is used for the microstrip transmission line 12 which has expected substrate thickness satisfying gap-thickness relation. When the launcher 10 is used for a microstrip transmission line 12 having different substrate thickness, the front end of the tapered pin 42 needs to be moved elastically to outside an optimum position along the axis of the hole 28 so as to obtain the necessary gap-thickness relation. Consequently, the characteristic impedance varies along the length of the hole 28, but total signal reflection is reduced and the adjustable stopper 46 can correct an error in diameter generated between the pin 42 and hole 28 because of manufacture tolerance. Consequently, the launcher 10 can minimize a reflected signal.
