Abstract :
A generalized calibration and de-embedding technique for reflection-based S-parameter measurements of microwave devices is proposed. This technique allows to perform the two-port calibration of a network analyzer directly from the embedded reflection coefficient measurements. This technique is a general one, in the sense that it can be implemented in network analyzers with or without transmission measurement capabilities.<>
