Calibrating network analyzers using a through and a line or a through and a match for transmission parameter measurement

This letter presents a general partial two-port calibration scheme for tran smission parameter measurement. Calibrating network analyzers using a throu gh and a line or a through and a match are two applications under the schem e. The second application, which is a new result, is validated experimental ly by a comparison with the first one recently discussed. Both applications are useful in characterizing two-port devices whose reflection parameters are of little interest. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
