About

Linus Boehm is a leading figure in millimeter-wave antenna metrology, specializing in automated, high-precision measurement techniques for integrated antennas operating above 100 GHz. His major contributions center on developing a groundbreaking antenna measurement setup that employs a robotic arm to achieve the exceptional rigidity and stability required for probing delicate integrated circuits at sub-terahertz frequencies. This innovation directly addresses the critical challenge of avoiding probe damage while ensuring accurate characterization. Boehm’s seminal 2015 paper, “An automated millimeter-wave antenna measurement setup using a robotic arm” (32 citations), established the foundational methodology, which he subsequently refined in “Robotically controlled directivity and gain measurements of integrated antennas at 280 GHz” (26 citations). In this latter work, he demonstrated the system’s capability by successfully measuring gain and directivity for both a standard gain horn and an integrated antenna at 280 GHz, using a vector network analyzer with frequency converters. By automating these complex measurements, Boehm’s work has significantly accelerated the development and testing of next-generation communication and sensing systems, making him a key enabler of progress in millimeter-wave and terahertz engineering.
