Abstract: A new type of calibration standards is presented, which has the uncalibrated peer-ports terminated to matching impedances such as 50?. Terminating peer-ports increases calibration accuracy since the calibration process is less affected by the undesired crosstalk in the error-network that is being calibrated or in the calibration standards themselves. Using the disclosed peer-terminated standards were shown to have less calibration errors over using conventional dual standards. This is applicable to any electrical measurement and calibration, where the calibration standards are designed to simultaneously connect multiple ports.

Abstract: High frequency interconnect structures, electronic assemblies that utilize high frequency interconnect structures, and methods of operating the same. The high frequency interconnect structures include a plurality of dielectric waveguides and are configured to communicatively connect a plurality of transmitters with a plurality of receivers and to convey a plurality of signals therebetween. The plurality of signals may include a plurality of electromagnetic waves and may have a frequency of at least 200 GHz. The high frequency interconnect structures further may be configured to decrease a potential for crosstalk between a first signal that is conveyed by a first dielectric waveguide of the plurality of dielectric waveguides and a second signal that is conveyed by a second dielectric waveguide of the plurality of dielectric waveguides, such as through control of a passband of the first dielectric waveguide relative to the second dielectric waveguide and/or the use of a crosstalk mitigation structure.
