  • Abstract
    By characterizing the condition number as an indicator of accuracy, an error analysis is performed to determine how different auxiliary terminations affect the accuracy of the scattering matrix renormalization transform. Such an error analysis plays an essential role in enhancing the accuracy and widening the applicability of the port renormalization method for measuring multiport devices with a two-port vector network analyzer.
