Calibrating network analyzer is still an issue for bended access port devices (devices with access). Bended accesses can give additional errors which are taken into account by using a new design standards of Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) calibration. This Thru-Reflect-Line calibration technique is computed from ABCD parameters that easily allow to remove the bended port effects. This approach is based on the assumption that the Vector Network Analyzer error boxes can be considered as passive system. Furthermore, the method can be applied for de-embedding devices with bended accesses. This calibration and de-embedding technique could be applied, for example, to a coplanar circulator or a power divider measurement which have access lines at 120° from each other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
