Abstract
A new method is presented how to characterize multiport devices using a two-port vector network-analyzer (VNA). Up to now, at least one of the port terminations had to be fully known to measure the S-parameters of the device. Our new measurement method overcomes this restriction. All of the device parameters and all of the port terminations are calculated from the device measurements.
