Measuring stray parameters of multiple gate measurement object involves using multi-gate network analyzer with non-sinusoidal measurement signals, determining correction values in calibration process

摘要

The method involves determining correction values in calibration process for use when computing the stray parameters from measured wave parameters. The time offsets between the measurement signals in the measurement channels corresponding to the wave parameters measured at the gates of the measurement object are computed and compensated, uncorrected stray parameters are computed from them and then corrected using the correction values. The method involves determining correction values for the network analyzer in a preceding calibration process and taking them into account when computing the stray parameters from measured wave parameters. The time offsets between the measurement signals in the measurement channels corresponding to the wave parameters measured at the gates of the measurement object are computed and compensated, uncorrected stray parameters are computed from them and then corrected using the correction values.
