Electronic calibration circuit for calibrating a network analyzer

摘要

An electronic calibration circuit for calibrating a network analyzer. The electronic calibration circuit comprises at least one port for coupling the electronic calibration circuit to the network analyzer. A plurality of switching circuits coupled to the port are operable to provide a plurality of impedance states for electronically calibrating the network analyzer, wherein a transmission line couples at least two of the plurality of switching circuits, the transmission line short enough to reduce interactions of impedance mismatches and to reduce transmission loss. The port and the plurality of switching circuits are comprised within an integrated circuit having a package size small enough to avoid cavity resonance at a high frequency.
