A Radio Frequency (RF) probe has been fully modeled, and radiation pattern and realized gain of this probe at mm‐wave frequencies have been extracted. Simulation results prove that the probe radiates with a pattern like a dipole showing a realized gain of around −8 dBi at 60 GHz, which is a huge leakage from a probe. The radiation pattern and the realized gain of the probe at 60 GHz have also been measured, confirming the simulation results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2011.
