The purpose of this newsgroup is to provide a forum for general microwave measurement discussions. It deals with measurements of the microwave characteristics (e.g. S-parameters) of microwave and lightwave components and with the application of photonic techniques to microwave and mm-wave measurements, moreover it focuses on the metrology and measurement techniques for characterizing the broadband electrical properties of materials.
Hello Igor, In MultiCal and StatistiCAL you put in an estimate for the length of the fixture. The programs use this estimate at the lowest frequency to resolve
Thank you Dylan When S21=S12 there is a 180deg ambiguity in the answer because of the square root function. Similarly, there is a square root to solve for S22
Sorry Igor, When de-embedding adapters you can use reciprocity (S21=S12) to solve this problem. Both MultiCal and StatistiCAL allow you to solve for adapter
