ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment of a measurement system for conducting measurements on a device-under-test (DUT) includes a signal transmission line, an impedance controlling tuner including a signal transmission line segment as part of the signal transmission line, and a low-loss, electrically small signal coupling probe coupled to the signal transmission line in a non-contacting relationship for sampling signals propagating along the signal transmission line.
