Improved Evaluation of Planar Calibration Standards Using TDR Preselection Method

Original language description

Calibration and correction methods for Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) are based on the fundamental assumption of constant error model, which is independent of connected calibration standards and/or devices under test (DUT). Unfortunately, this assumptionis not satisfied well for planar calibration standards fabricated by etching technology on soft substrates. An evaluation of the error etching technology on soft substrates. An evaluation of the error model is affected expecially with a variation of themanufacturing process and also with a reproducibillity of an assembly. In this paper, we propose error minimazation using selection of the best combination of available calibration standards based on time-domain reflection (TDR) measuerment. The proposedmethod was verified experimentally using short, open, load and thru (SOLT) standards fabricated on FR4 laminate substrate getting essential reduction of the measurement error in frequency range up to 15 GHz.
