Abstract

Microwave network analyzer accuracy enhancement by offset shorts is investigated. Usable calibration bandwidth and accuracy limitations are determined by applying a previously published model by L.A. Glasser (1978) to the case of a reference short and two offset shorts. Data necessary to emulate the HP 8510 scalar network analyzer are derived and used in the model to provide realistic projections. Convenient techniques for optimizing experimental accuracy and for obtaining an estimate of the uncertainty in actual short circuit and offset short calibration standards are also presented. >
