High frequency MPI probe station for vector network analysis (VNA-MPI)

The probestation is designed to allow for high frequency characterization (up to 50 GHz) of four port devices as coplanar waveguides and antennas by the means of Rhode&Schwarz ZVA vector network analyzer. The device under test is contacted by a pair of high frequency pico-probes and can be placed to external magnetic field of 150 mT.
