Abstract
We discuss methods for full two-port vector network analyzer measurements in the 218-344- (using WR3) and 356-500-GHz (using WR2.2) frequency bands. Waveguide test sets (WR3 and WR2.2) utilize Oleson Microwave Laboratories Inc. frequency extenders with the Agilent 8510C network analyzer. On-wafer measurements in the 220-325-GHz band are demonstrated with GGB Industries Inc. coplanar-waveguide probes. This paper primarily reviews the performance capabilities of the WR3 test set and introduces initial calibration results of the WR2.2 test set. For WR3, calibration methods are compared, and dynamic range and frequency extender output power data are presentedKeywords
