We present a technique for comparing the scattering parameter measurements made with respect to two vector network analyzer calibrations. This method determines the worst-case measurement error bounds on any calibration from a benchmark calibration
Abstract: This paper presents a calibration and measurement method for circuits embedded in lossy printed multiconductor transmission lines. The experimental results illustrate the complexity of the modal representation and the utility of the conductor
This paper examines modal cross power in electromagnetic transmission lines. It shows that the cross powers of nearly degenerate modes may be large in quasi-TEM multiconductor transmission lines typical of modern electronic circuits at moderate and low
By measuring propagation constants of coplanar waveguide transmission lines, we show the significant systematic errors of common measurement techniques when the characteristic impedance of the lines does not match the reference impedance of the instrument.
