Abstract

A multiport through-resistor (TR) numerical calibration technique is proposed and presented. The multiport TR calibration is used to remove the effects of port discontinuities in a deterministic method-of-moments (MOM) algorithm and can be easily combined with commercial full-wave MOM simulators. Analytical equations for multiport TR calibration are derived in this work. Three-dimensional characteristic impedance of a microstrip coupled line is calculated and showcased as an example by using the proposed scheme and its validity is verified.
