We compare calibrations for use on three-sampler vector network analyzers (VNAs), which do not allow the direct application of some advanced error-correction schemes such as TRL (thru-reflect-line). Here we compare various alternatives, including an
We describe a coaxial line-reflect-match calibration that corrects for imperfections in the load used as a match standard. The method provides a practical means of obtaining accurate, wideband calibrations with compact coaxial standard sets. When our load

Abstract: We apply custom calibration standards and software to the accurate on-wafer measurement of components on flip-chip coplanar-waveguide MM ICs. We characterize transmission lines, M IM capacitors, and spiral inductors and develop equivalent circuit

Abstract: We apply custom calibration standards and software to the accurate on-wafer measurement of MIM capacitors and spiral inductors on flip-chip coplanar-waveguide MMICs. We suggest equiva1lent circuit models and document their deficiencies. The

Abstract: We report accurate on-wafer measurements of transmission lines on flip-chip coplanar-waveguide MMICs. The effects are difficult to predict theoretically, and, without custom standards and unique calibration software, measurements would be
In his recent paper, Frickey presents formulas for conversions between various network matrices. Four of these matrices (Z, Y, h, and ABCD) relate voltages and currents at the ports: the other two (S and T) relate wave quantities. These relationships
