Although no accuracy statements may be made about any of the measurements, the use of statistics will allow valid conclusions to be drawn. The unique features of the ARFTG MCP kit are: the first wide area comparison of a large amount of measurement data, use of 81SneakerNet81 to form a global Non-Touching Area Network (NAN), rapid analysis of measurement results (less than two week turn around time), easy to use and understand tabular and graphical information, simple and low cost to participate, plus direct applications to TQM and IS0 9000.","PeriodicalId":388026,"journal":{"name":"41st ARFTG Conference Digest","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123034753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Selection of the optimum measuring conditions, all the steps of the experimental procedure, the data collecting and processing to derive all the parameters, are fully driven by an original (unpublished) software, even without the presence of an (unskilled) operator. Results are presented about the complete characterization of a series of ten pseudomorphicHEMTs in the 8-16 GHz range. The S-parameters are also compared with those measured by an ANA.","PeriodicalId":388026,"journal":{"name":"41st ARFTG Conference Digest","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128959393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
