Abstract

Scattering parameter measurements in the presence of crosstalk is a well documented problem. The available calibration methods, suited for the general 16-term error model, capable of taking the crosstalk into account, suffer from the required Thru-Standard, which has to be perfectly known. This information is hard to acquire in some cases. An approach which makes the advantage of the 7-term SOLR (Short-Open-Load-Reciprocal) accessible to the 16-term error model is discussed in this article. The mathematical description, the feasibility for multiport applications, measurement results and a brief sensitivity analysis will be presented.
