Abstract

This paper investigates a general method of characterizing microwave test fixtures for the purpose of determining the S parameters of devices embedded in the fixture. The accuracy of the technique was studied and compared with that of the common open-short-load and thru-reflect-line methods. Increased accuracy was obtained using redundant measurements.
