  • Abstract
    This paper looks at the sensitivity of the Thru-Reflect-Line and Line-Reflect-Line vector network analyzer calibration algorithms to changes in their inputs. Using a consistent measurement data set throughout, it highlights differences observed in the error-corrected measurements of a DUT when interchanging line standards and the effect of small changes to the value of the length of these lines.
