Abstract:
A method of performing measurements for a device under test, the measurements being performed utilizing a measurement device having at least first and second ports adapted for coupling to corresponding ports of the device under test, the method comprising the steps of:measuring first S-parameter data at the first and second ports of the measurement device using at least a subset of a set of one-port standards; measuring, with a first port of an interconnect element coupled to one of the first and second ports of the measurement device, second S-parameter data at a second port of the interconnect element using at least a subset of the set of one-port standards; measuring third S-parameter data with the first and second ports of the measurement device connected together using the interconnect element; processing the first, second and third S-parameter data to generate calibration information for use in correcting subsequent measured S-parameter data generated by the measurement device when coupled to the device under test.
