Measurement of Multi-Port S-Parameters using Four-Port Network Analyzer
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient measurement methodology is proposed to construct the scattering parameters of a multi-port device using a four-port vector network analyzer (VNA) without the external un-terminated ports. By using the four-port VNA, the reflected waves from the un-terminated ports could be minimized. The proposed method significantly enhances the accuracy of the S-parameters with less number of measurements compared to the results of classical renormalization technique which uses twoport VNA. The proposed method is validated from the measured data with the coupled 8-port micro-strip

Selection of Specific S-parameters in Multiport Measurement for the Renormalization Technique using Four-port VNA
This paper presents an algorithm to characterize scattering parameters of multi-port device with a four-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). By employing the renormalization of scattering matrices with different reference impedances at ports, data obtained from multi-port configuration measurements can be synthesized to build the full scattering matrix of the device-under-test (DUT). Although th...

Combined differential-mode and common-mode (mixedmode) scattering parameters (s-parameters) are well adapted to accurate measurements of linear networks at RF and microwave frequencies. The relationships between standard s-parameters with two-port vector network analyzer (VNA) and mixed-mode s-parameters with four-port VNA are derived in this paper. An example differential structure was measure...
