This thesis lays out the work required to design and create a platform for cryogenically compatible testing of on-chip microwave resonators, intended as a platform for
quantum-limited electromechanical torque sensing. We have created a platform with
less than 8 dB loss across an operating range of up to 12 GHz, the widest band we
can measure with current equipment. We then used this platform to measure on-chip
resonators with quality factors greater than 50, 000, competitive with state-of-the-art
devices for which the development and fabrication is also described. We also lay out
the necessary theory to design high-quality electromechanical sensors and describe a
straightforward path to their creation. -
