    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor wafer testing environment for routing signals used for testing integrated circuits formed onto a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer testing environment includes a semiconductor wafer tester to control overall operation and/or configuration of the semiconductor wafer testing environment and a semiconductor wafer prober to test the integrated circuits formed onto the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer prober includes a probe card having a transmission line coupler formed onto a flexible substrate. The transmission line coupler includes multiple transmission line coupling blocks that extend radially from a central point of the flexible substrate in a circular manner.
