Description

A method that calculates the residual uncertainties of a microwave network analyzer for the frequency range of 300 kHz to 50 GHz is described. The method utilizes measurements on NIST-certified standards (such as an airline or load) plus additional measurements to estimate the combined standard uncertainties for measurements using the network analyzer. The uncertainties of the standards are incorporated by means of a Monte Carlo technique. The uncertainties assigned to a network analyzer then provide the basis for estimating the uncertainties assigned to devices measured using a network analyzer. The results of this method for characterizing network analyzer uncertainties are … continued below

The results of this method for characterizing network analyzer uncertainties are presented for several connector types.
