Re: Transistor S parameter measurements
If you can find a source for the old Motorola semiconductor app notes, there are a number of them for the RF transistors that give the physical dimensions to build the test fixtures.?

Re: Transistor S parameter measurements
I have a copy of HP's app note AN-154. It might cover the S-parameter design you are looking for. It is ancient, 1972, so I would think there are other app notes and more out there. I remember

Re: Transistor S parameter measurements
You might search in some of the VNA-associated notes from HP and Motorola.
I no longer have specific references, but I remember specifically, both
suppliers addressed the problem with fixture designs.

Re: How do i get more granularity on TDR
The maximum frequency sets the resolution in time. The sample interval in frequency determines how long the TDR trace is.

Transistor S parameter measurements
I found some discussion over a year ago, but nothing since. Has anyone done this?
I had trouble finding any information on fixture design. Ultimately I settled on biasing the candidate transistor

Re: MMCX amd MCX calibration standards

I am surprised they were not good beyond 1ghz. The smaller geometry, if constructed with care should have made it as easy or easier than making an sma calibration standard. I wonder if a single 50ohm

Understood.
All three of those formulas assume we only have the 101

Thank you, John. The founding concepts you described I was already aware of, but I'm sure they were beneficial to anyone following the post. I was specifically interested in the reasons for the

Re: MMCX amd MCX calibration standards

Are those the minute connectors used on the teaching board, and, I think on drone circuitry? I thought the drones used 5ghz, an area a bit tricky for home-made standards and somewhat out of the nano

Re: A Good source for Calibrated Loads in formats other than SMA -
#calibration
I think "precision" is a bit of an exaggeration there. Several are
transitioning from N to SMA, which have very different diameters, so
significant shunt capacitance, as a change in transmission line

Hi Kurt,
DO you have a view on cal kits for MMCX connectors, or is it ok to cal up to an sma (female) then have a cable SMA male to MMCX socket (female polarity)
Thanks
