To perform TRL/LRM calibration, you need to prepare calibration standards that meet the
following requirements:
Through (zero-length, or non-zero-length through)
Zero-length through
- S21 and S12 are defined as equal to 1.
- S11 and S22 are defined as equal to zero.
Non-zero-length through
- Z0 of the through and lines must be the same.
- Attenuation need not be known.
- Accurate electrical length must be known to set the reference plane.
Reflect (short, or open termination)
- Reflection coefficient magnitude (optimally 1.0) need not be known.
- Phase of the reflection coefficient must be specified within 1/4 wavelength or +/-90 degrees.
- Must be the same reflection coefficient on all ports.
Line (transmission line)
- Electrical length need only be specified within 1/4 wavelength.
- Cannot be the same length as the through. Difference between the through and lines must be between 20
degrees and 160 degrees.
- Optimal line length is 1/4 wavelength or 90 degrees relative to the through at the center frequency.
- Usable bandwidth for a single line standard is 8:1 (frequency span : start frequency).
- Attenuation need not be known.
Match (load termination)
- Must be the same Z0 on all ports.
- Z0 of the match standard establishes the reference impedance of the measurement.
