A V-band network analyzer/reflection test unit

A novel V-band (EIA WG WR-15) network analyzer/reflection test unit has been developed for circuit and/or device characterization in the 50- to 75-GHz frequency range. Swept frequency techniques are utilized to simplify device design and network analysis over a wide range of operating frequencies. The design, fabrication and performance of the unit is presented along with an error analysis for verification of measurement accuracies.
