This paper introduces a new method for measuring impedance parameters in transmission lines fabricated on lossy or dispersive dielectrics. The method, which uses an independent calibration to provide an impedance reference, compares well with conventional
The line-reflect-match calibration is extended, without significant loss of measurement accuracy, to accommodate imperfect match standards and lossy lines typical of monolithic microwave integrated circuits. We characterize the match and line standards
We present results of a verification procedure useful in evaluating the accuracy of probe-tip scattering parameter measurements. The procedure was applied to calibrations and measurements performed in industrial laboratories. Actual measurement
