General Foundation Edition "Method for Exchange of Reference Plane for Measured Data"

Method for exchanging reference planes of measured data using S･NAP-Pro.

When measuring the characteristics of transmission lines, unwanted elements such as connectors and coaxial lines at the connection point between the calibration reference plane of the network analyzer and the device under test may be mixed into the measurement data. Ideally, it would be best to perform calibration at the device under test end as the calibration reference plane of the network analyzer, but in practice, this is often difficult due to the constraints of calibration fixtures. If it is challenging to remove unwanted elements during measurement, it is necessary to eliminate these elements through post-processing to obtain accurate data for the device under test. In many cases, these unwanted elements are connectors or coaxial lines, and if the data for these elements is known, it is possible to remove them using S･NAP-Pro after measurement. [Features] - If the data is known, unwanted elements can be easily subtracted from the measurement data. - The attenuation per unit length can be 'zero' if the length is short.
