An extended short-open calibration technique for multimode analysis of asymmetric coplanar-waveguide discontinuities

This paper presents an extended short-open calibration (SOC) technique to handle the multimode conversion phenomenon associated with the asymmetric coplanar-waveguide (CPW) discontinuities. Specifically, two CPW asymmetric discontinuity structures are analyzed by this technique and their simulated results are tested by the ones using the matrix-pencil de-embedding technique.
