Abstract :
A calibration procedure for perturbation two-port vector network analyzer is presented. It consists of a variable perturbation two-port placed between a device under test and a scalar network analyzer. A measured vector reflection coefficient is determined on the basis of amplitude only readings. A full correction of systematic errors is possible. The new principle was experimentally confirmed in the frequency band up to 14 GHz.
