Abstract
We developed models for a 0.8 mm coaxial vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration kit within the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework. First, we created physical models of commercially- available standards and included error mechanisms in each of the standards constituent parameters that were utilized to propagate uncertainties. Next, we calibrated a network analyzer with this calibration kit and compared measurements and uncertainties of two verification devices with data provided by the manufacturer. We found the measurements agreed to within their respective uncertainties.Proceedings Title
