Abstract :
A novel reflectometer calibration procedure is presented that needs only one known short phase for the establishment of the reference plane. The new procedure is especially suited for network analyser calibration at millimetre wave frequencies, where small uncertainties of the standard short planes may severely degrade calibration accuracy.
