Seven State PTP for Vector Network Analyzer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new, seven-state switched perturbation twoport (PTP) for vector reflection measurement based on scalar measurement only was designed and realized in microstrip structure using PIN diodes. The structure was experimentally tested by means of vector measurements of different impedances in frequency band with relative bandwidth of 2.5 octaves. Good agreement with data obtained using a precise vector network analyzer was achieved. The new calibration method for the PTP was designed and tested on real measured data.

متن کاملA Vector Network Analyzer Based on Seven-Port Wave-Correlator
A seven-port wave-correlator based vector network analyzer is proposed. The seven-port wave-correlator is a combination of two six-port wave-correlators which share common components. Furthermore, the complex wave ratio measurement accuracy is improved since the input signals can be directly detected by the side-arm ports. A seven-port wave-correlator is fabricated using microstrip branch line ...

We develop an uncertainty analysis that captures the dominant sources of measurement error in state-of-the-art WM-380 (WR 1.5) rectangular-waveguide vector-network-analyzer measurements over the frequency range 500–750 GHz. We use the analysis to assess thru-reflect-line, thru-short-match, and thru-short-radiating-open calibrations. The comparison shows that thru-short-match and thru-short-radi...

متن کاملCovariance - Matrix - Based Vector - Network - Analyzer Uncertainty Analysis for Time - and Frequency - Domain Measurements
We develop a covariance-matrix-based uncertainty analysis for vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements. The covariance matrix captures all of the measurement uncertainties and statistical correlations between them. This allows the uncertainties of vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements to be propagated into the uncertainties of other quantities derived from s...
