Abstract :
Room temperature VNA calibration to measure cryogenic devices can be inadequate when the loss of the unavoidable thermal decoupling line is order of magnitude higher than the DUT one. We present a cryogenic calibration setup with an accuracy at the level of some tens of milli-dB for S21 parameter.
