Sources of Error in Coplanar-Waveguide TRL Calibrations

This paper explores the impact of five sources of systematic error in coplanar-waveguide thru-reflect-line calibrations. We develop expressions that predict systematic measurement error and test them experimentally by deliberately introducing error into real measurement data.
