  • Abstract
    This article was written to help practicing RF engineers solve everyday tasks related to differential circuit characterization with precise and reliable methods, which employ ordinary single-ended two-port vector network analyzers. The article describes useful, practical methods for balanced circuit characterization, particularly differential voltage, common-mode rejection (CMR), insertion loss, and differential impedance based on measuring two-port S-parameters
