Abstract :
A simple method for de-embedding S parameters of devices in microstrip is presented. The use of only one transmission line and two nonideal shorts or opens of different lengths as calibration standards allows the determination of the unknown S parameters of the connectors and the complex propagation coefficient of the lines
