20120109566	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALIBRATING A TEST SYSTEM FOR MEASURING A DEVICE UNDER TEST - A calibration method for a two-port VNA includes presenting a high reflection calibration standard and measuring reflection data for each of the two ports, calculating a location of the high reflection calibration standard at each of the two ports, presenting a load calibration standard and measuring the reflection characteristic for each of the two ports to provide load data, converting the load data to the time domain to provide time domain impulse response load data, and gating the time domain impulse response load data based on the locations of the high reflection calibration standard at each of two ports. The method further includes reconstructing frequency domain load data from the gated time domain data, connecting the two ports together and determining forward and reverse transmission characteristics, and calculating systematic error coefficients for the VNA based on the reconstructed frequency domain data and the forward and reverse transmission characteristics.	05-03-2012
20110199107	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALIBRATING A TEST SYSTEM FOR MEASURING A DEVICE UNDER TEST - Methods and apparatus for calibrating a vector network analyzer (VNA) and characterizing a device under test. In one example, a device fixture including a pair of embedded device adapters provides an interface between a device under test (DUT) with non-coaxial connectors and the coaxial connectors of the VNA, and moves the calibration reference plane from the coaxial connectors of the VNA to a DUT reference plane at the leads/connectors of the DUT. A through fixture having a pair of similar through adapters is used to establish the DUT reference plane and to facilitate characterizing the device adapters such that they can be de-embedded from measurements of the device fixture.	08-18-2011
