4 The array coeff icients are computed by measuring a set of “kno wn” devices connected at a f ixed point and solving as the vector difference betw een t he modeled and measured response. The full 2-port er ror model sho wn in F igure 1 is an example of onl y one of t he measurement calibra- tions available with the 8510. The measurement calibr ...

10 It is not possible to remov e fringing capacit ance, but the result ant phase shift can be modeled as a function of frequency using C 0 through C 3 (C 0 +C l x f + C 2 x f 2 + C 3 x f 3 ,with units of F(Hz), C 0 (fF), C 1 (10 -27 F/Hz), C 2 (10 -36 F/Hz 2 ) and C 3 (10 -45 F/Hz 3 ), which are the coef ficients for a cubic polynomial that best f ...

11 Note In some cases (when the phase response is linear with respect t o frequency) the response of an open can be modeled as an equivalent “incremental” length. This method will serve as a first order appro xima- tion only , but can be useful when dat a or stan- dards f or t he abo ve modeling techniques are not available. F or t he wav eguid ...

The inductance as a function of frequency can be modeled by specifying the coeff icients of a third- order polynomial (L 0 + L 1 x f + L 2 x f 2 + L 3 x f 3 ), with units of L 0 (nH), L 1 (10 -24 H/Hz), L 2 (10 -33 H/Hz 2 ) and L 3 (10 -42 H/Hz 3 ). F or t he wav eguide example, the induct ance of the offset shor t circuits is negligible. L 0 t hro ...
