Abstract: A non-contact electric potential meter system to determine voltage between an AC conductor and a reference potential without direct electrical contact to the conductor. A housing provides a shielded measurement region that excludes other conductors and holds power supply means; an AC voltage sensing mechanism includes a conductive sense plate and an electrical connection to the reference potential. Waveform-sensing electronic circuitry obtains an AC voltage waveform induced by capacitive coupling between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Capacitance-determining electronic circuitry obtains a scaling factor based on the coupling capacitance formed between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Signal processing electronic circuitry uses the AC voltage waveform and the coupling capacitance-based scaling factor to obtain the voltage between the conductor and the reference potential.

Abstract: A low profile four probe harmonic load-pull slide screw impedance tuner uses four tuning probes sharing the same slabline; they are inserted in pairs diametrically at fixed depth (distance from the center conductor) from both sides into the channel and move only horizontally along the slabline. The tuner does not have adjustable vertical axes controlling the penetration of the tuning probes and its low profile is optimal for on-wafer operations with direct wafer probe contact. The carriages holding the tuning probes are moved at high speed along the slabline using linear electric actuators. The “S” shaped center conductor allows for a neutral, probe withdrawn, 50 Ohm state. A fast de-embedding calibration method allows speeding up the measurement procedure.
