Abstract:
1. A method for converting a step-like waveform acquired at a driven port by a network analyzer and a step-like waveform acquired at a measurement port by the network analyzer different from the driven port to a frequency response representative of a raw s-parameter measurement from the driven port to the measurement port by a computer processor, comprising the steps of: computing a first difference of the step-like waveform acquired at the driven port; computing a transmission waveform as a first difference of the step-like waveform acquired at the measurement port; computing an incident waveform by extracting an incident portion of the first difference of the step-like waveform acquired at the driven port; computing a frequency domain waveform of the incident waveform; computing a frequency domain waveform of the transmission waveform; and computing a frequency response as a ratio of the frequency domain waveform of the transmission waveform and the frequency domain waveform of the incident waveform at each of a plurality of frequencies.
