  • Abstract
    In this paper we propose a method for improving the accuracy of estimating the propagation constant in multiline calibrations. The method employs an extended Kalman filter to take advantage of the fact that the propagation constant is strongly correlated between frequencies. The method is then compared against the traditional multiline method.
