β¦ Synopsis
This letter presents a general partial two-port calibration scheme for transmission parameter measurement. Calibrating network analyzers using a through and a line or a through and a match are two applications under the scheme. The second application, which is a new result, is ¨alidated experimentally by a comparison with the first one recently discussed. Both applications are useful in characterizing two-port de¨ices whose reflection parameters are of little interest.

Multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) have been modeled by the distributed parameters R L C, and G in many commercial CAD packages, where most of the parameters are assumed to be frequency independent or at most R f . At gigahertz frequencies, such assumptions may introduce significantly large err
