  • Abstract
    A single standard co-axial two-port calibration procedure which uses only one short-circuit as a calibration standard, is presented. The technique uses time-domain reflectometry to model the embedding networks as two lossy transmission lines. It has particular significance for cryogenic measurements where cooling cycles can take up to several hours.
