IWTh5: The "Swiss Army Knife" for Calibration and Broadband Verification

Presentation Abstract
This workshop focuses on leveraging phase information in RF device characterization using the Rohde & Schwarz ZN-ZCG phase reference. It is tailored for engineers, technicians, and researchers aiming to enhance measurement accuracy through advanced phase reference techniques in VNAs and VSAs/VSGs. Accurate RF measurements extend beyond amplitude: Understanding and utilizing phase information is essential. This workshop introduces the signal comb — a versatile phase reference tool — and demonstrates how it serves as a comprehensive solution for calibration and broadband verification, improving the precision of amplitude and phase measurements in diverse RF applications.
