Antennas are a key element in any communication system and vector network analyser (VNA) is popular tool for charactering antenna impedance bandwidth. In this paper, an efficient uncertainty evaluation method is proposed for VNA measurement…
This paper introduces a one-port method for estimating model parameters of VNA calibration standards. The method involves measuring the standards through an asymmetrical passive network connected in direct mode and then in reverse mode, and…
This paper proposes a modification to the traditional multiline thru-reflect-line (TRL) or line-reflect-line (LRL) calibration method used for vector network analyzers (VNAs). Our proposed method eliminates the need for a thru (or line)…
We recently introduced the "Virtual VNA" concept which estimates the $N \times N$ scattering matrix characterizing an arbitrarily complex linear reciprocal system with $N$ monomodal lumped ports by inputting and outputting waves only via…
This paper presents an indirect method for measuring the switch terms of a vector network analyzer (VNA) using at least three reciprocal devices, which do not need to be characterized beforehand. This method is particularly suitable for…
We estimate the scattering matrix of an arbitrarily complex linear, passive, time-invariant system with $N$ monomodal lumped ports by inputting and outputting waves only via a fixed set of $N_\mathrm{A}<N$ ports while terminating the…
A method for measuring translational diffusion constant in liquids via NOON state is described using a quantum circuit and is experimentally demonstrated using a model system. When compared with the standard single quantum method, the NOON…
We prototype a PCB-realized tunable load network whose ports serve as additional "virtual" VNA ports in a "Virtual VNA" measurement setup. The latter enables the estimation of a many-port antenna array's scattering matrix with a few-port…
We present the "Virtual VNA 3.0" technique for estimating the scattering matrix of a \textit{non-reciprocal}, linear, passive, time-invariant device under test (DUT) with $N$ monomodal ports using a single measurement setup involving a…
Since S-parameter measurements without uncertainty cannot claim any credibility, the uncertainties in full two-port Vector Network Analyser (VNA) measurements were estimated using total complex differentials (Total Differential Errors). To…
We describe a simple method to experimentally determine the frequency dependencies of the per-unit-length resistance and conductance of transmission lines. The experiment is intended as a supplement to the classic measurement of the…
An analytical method was developed, to estimate uncertainties in full two-port Vector Network Analyzer measurements, using total differentials of S-parameters. System error uncertainties were also estimated from total differentials…
Vector network analyzers (VNAs) have become one of the indispensable tools in various fields, such as medicine, material, geology, communication, and etc, due to the capacity of measuring and analyzing the response of the object under test.…
This paper proposes a new approach, the symmetric-reciprocal-match (SRM) method, for calibrating vector network analyzers (VNAs). The method involves using multiple symmetric one-port loads, a two-port reciprocal device, and a matched load.…
A measurement setup made of millimeter-wave and ultra wideband transceivers mounted on both a customized UAV and a ground station for full 3D wireless propagation analysis is described in this work. The developed system represents a…
Examining cables using many conductor transmission line theory has shed light on the modes supported by various cable types. However, so far the theory disregards the fundamental surface wave mode whose lateral confinement increases with…
The redshifted 21 cm line signal is a powerful probe of the cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization. The global spectrum can potentially be detected with a single antenna and spectrometer. However, this measurement requires an extremely…
The necessity of new spectrum for 6G has intensified global interest in radio propagation measurements across emerging frequency bands, use cases, and antenna types. These measurements are vital for understanding radio channel properties in…
We refine the recently introduced "Virtual VNA 3.0" technique to remove the need for coherent detection. The resulting "Virtual VNA 3.1" technique can unambiguously estimate the full scattering matrix of a non-reciprocal, linear, passive,…
Quantum communication offers many applications, with teleportation and superdense coding being two of the most fundamental. In these protocols, pre-shared entanglement enables either the faithful transfer of quantum states or the…
