Characterization of microstrip fixtures, a broadband model for a microstrip connector
Abstract
In order to improve the accuracy of measurements on microstrip components, a model for the connector was developed. Model element values were optimized to fit measured data. All S-parameters agree very well with the measured results up to 15 GHz. The measured device consisted of a 1 in. 500 hm microstrip transmission line between 2 connectors. Model predictions of behavior of a small gap in the line agree well with measurements. Results concerning a Lange coupler mounted in a microstrip fixture and the modeling of beam lead pin diodes are presented.
