Analytical Considerations of the TRL Calibration Procedure for General De-Embedding Purposes

In this paper, the suitability of the TRL calibration procedure as a technique for general de-embedding, i.e. in measurements and simulations, is examined. For the confirmation of the portability, simple test structures are examined purely analytically. Due to the character of this investigation, the behavior of the overall structure and the substructures is completely known and its applicability to general problems can be demonstrated.
