  • Abstract
    The reference plane of current open circuit standards can vary with test port tolerances when used to calibrate Vector Automatic Network Analyzers (VANA´s) with sexed connectors. This causes a significant measurement uncertainty. The improved design captivates the center contact of the open to make it independant of the test port.
