Two port calibration insensitive to flange misalignment

As waveguide measurements continue to push upwards in frequency, waveguide misalignment becomes a severe problem. In this paper we combine two known calibration algorithms; the SDDL and Usuggest that inaccuracies in the predicted response of the radiating open limits the perfornknown Thru, to create a two-port calibration insensitive to flange misalignment. The resultant algorithm, termed Misalignment Resistant Calibration (MRC), is numerically verified and tested experimentally. While the numerical simulation proves that MRC works as intended, the experimental results suggest that inaccuracies in the predicted response of the radiating open limits the performance of the MRC algorithm in practice.
