A NATIONAL INTERCOMPARISON BETWEEN AUTOMATIC NETWORK ANALYZERS

In order to estimate the accuracy of heterodyne Automatic Network Anal yzers, LCIE organized an intercomparison in France. The intercompariso n measurements were performed on six different passive microwave compo nents at 2, 10, and 18 GHz. The measured results are compared to those given by the Calibration Center of LCIE and those obtained with the d ual six-port reflectometer realized at BNM/LCIE. In this work, the mea sured results, in terms of complex reflection and transmission coeffic ients (amplitude, phase), obtained at different frequencies are report ed.
