This extends earlier calibration comparison methods that assume the switch terms to be fixed. The method is therefore applicable even to common methods that do not measure the switch terms directly and may therefore determine them erroneously.","PeriodicalId":239228,"journal":{"name":"1998 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements Digest (Cat.

In this case an attempt has been made by selecting various dielectric constants and thicknesses to study various parameters. For this, a rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) is designed in X-band at 9.2 GHz and fabricated on different substrates ranging dielectric constant between 2.20 to 10.20 and thickness ranging 0.635 mm to 1.574 mm.
