Why Use
Calibration?
This method is convenient in that calibration standards can be fabricated for a specific
measurement environment, such as a transistor test
or microstrip. Microstrip devices
in the form of chips,
packaged transistors, or beam-lead diodes cannot be connected
directly to the coaxial ports of the analyzer. The device under test
must be physically
connected to the network analyzer by some kind of transition network or iixture. Calibration
for a
measurement in microstrip presents additional difficulties.
A calibration at the coaxial ports of the network analyzer removes the effects of the network
analyzer and any cables or adapters before the fixture; however, the effects of the
itself
are not accounted for. An
calibration is preferable, but high-quality
Thru
standards are not readily available to allow a conventional Full
calibration
of the system at the desired measurement plane of the device. In microstrip, a short circuit is
inductive, an open circuit radiates energy, and a high-quality purely resistive load is difficult to
produce over a broad frequency range. The Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL)
calibration is an
alternative to the traditional
Full
calibration technique that utilizes simpler, more
convenient standards for device measurements in the microstrip environment.
For coaxial, waveguide and other environments where high-quality impedance standards are
readily available, the traditional short, open, load, thru
method provides the most
accurate results since all of the significant systematic errors are reduced. This method is
implemented in the form of the l-port, l-port, and full
calibration selections
In all measurement environments, the user must provide calibration standards for the desired
calibration to be performed. The advantage of TRL is that only three standards need to
be characterized as opposed to 4 in the traditional open, short, load, and thru full
calibrations. Further, the requirements for characterizing the T, R, and L standards are less
stringent and these standards are more easily fabricated.
Notice that the letters TRL, LRL,
etc are often interchanged, depending on the
standards used. For example,
indicates that two lines and a reflect standard are used;
indicates that a thru, reflection and match standards are used. All of these refer to the
same basic method.
