Hello all,
I am attempting a 40GHz calibration. I previously tried calibrating with 1000um 
pitch G S S G differential probes without success. I think at 40GHz there is no 
resonance, or planar waves on the cal substrate. Crosstalk is the main problem; 
I will try calibrating with <500um probes. Is there a way to measure/calculate 
this crosstalk? How can I verify this hypothesis?  Right now, I define a good 
cal as return loss below 20dB, is  there any other information I can use in 
determining a good cal?

Thank you!
