Abstract :
A new research project is under way at the United Kingdom´s National Physical Laboratory to develop on-wafer calibration standards for automatic network analysers. The aim is to support two port S-parameter measurements of GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in the frequency range 1-40 GHz, and ultimately to provide measurement traceability to national standards. Technical aspects of the project are summarised.
