Abstract

In a millimeter-wave modulated-signal measurement system with several calibration reference planes, we want the measured signal to be a close replica of the ideal signal at the reference plane which connects the near-ideal measured signal to subsequent applications, such as, over-the-air measurements. Recommended practices to transfer reference planes in such a situation are described here to ensure availability of a calibrated signal at the correct reference plane. Our work also highlights and demonstrates design choices to minimize the impact of receiver mismatch when using the calibrated modulated signal for subsequent applications.
