  • Methods and computer program products for full N-port vector network analyzer calibrations
    Patent number: 6882160
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing full N-port calibrations in an environment in which a test set is used to connect an N-port DUT to an M-port VNA, where N>M. Techniques for incorporating port impedances as part of a calibration sequence are provided. Also provided are techniques for using sequential characterization and de-embedding to generate virtual calibrations that are then used in a renormalization process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2005
    Assignee: Anritsu Company
    Inventors: Jon S. Martens, David V. Judge, Jimmy A. Bigelow
