A Millimeter Network Analyser Incorporating a Single Six-Port Junction

This paper presents an Automatic Network Analyzer (ANA) using a single six-port junction in the W frequency band (75-110 GHz). Its analysis, design, and testing are described. A calibration procedure requiring two standards and a new calibration technique are used to determine the full scattering parameters of the DUT. Finally, a comparison between experimental results performed with the six-port network analyzer and the other measurement systems available in the W frequency band is presented.
