Uncertainty analysis for 65 GHz terminations calibrated with vector network analyzers

Abstract

The conventional error analysis for the terminations was derived from the ripple techniques [1] and [2], and by using the scalar network analyzers. Since the vector network analyzers become available and affordable to more users, there is a need to adopt a new error analysis based on the international standards. A careful review of error analysis procedure based on the requirements of the ISO Guidance for Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) was conducted for the Type N and V connector terminations.
