Abstract :
A broadband versatile technique for precision one-port calibration of a vector network analyzer (VNA) is presented. It is an extension of a previous sliding short method accommodating, however, a broader class of calibration devices, such as delayed short and open circuits. It features a high measurement redundancy that allows the delays and losses of these devices to be determined during the calibration. The new method is suitable for characterization of low-loss two-ports
