No.7（2012）17.Implementing an evaluation method for high-frequency characteristics in high-speed devices

Takashi Kondo

  The study achieved a calibration method for a vector network analyzer using a TRL method. A theoretical value for the measurement accuracy of a TRL method is calculated. It was able to measure high frequency characteristics of high-speed devices with higher accuracy. The highest available frequency for the TRL system is 40 GHz. The measurement accuracy is ±0.8 dB approximately at reflective characteristics.
