The measurement results of coupled transmission lines on LTCC multilayer substrates are presented in this paper. The S-parameters of 4-port devices have been measured using a newly developed topology of a multiport vector network analyzer (VNA). A method for a multiport calibration based on multiple 2-port TRL-calibration routines is presented. The procedure has been developed for the use of a wafer probe station with coupled probe tips in combination with the 4-port VNA. To extract information about the capabilities of the measurement system, the measured data of the coupled microstrip lines on LTCC are compared to the results of a numerical circuit simulation of these lines. The measured single-ended S-parameters were transformed to a modal description by matrix transformation, describing the characteristics of the measured devices at common-mode or differential-mode stimulus. The results of the measurements and simulations will be discussed.
