摘要：
A procedure to extract the S-parameters of both the active section and the input and output coplanar tapers of Mach-Zehnder modulators is proposed. The S-parameters of the three sections of the modulator have been successfully extracted up to 30 GHz from measurements and c.m. simulations performed on proper test structures.
