Time Domain Metrology Study.
Abstract
The report describes work done on extending the upper frequency limit of accurate time domain measurements beyond 10 GHz. The main emphasis was on developing suitable equipment and performing measurements on passive microwave components between 10 and 18 GHz. A secondary task involved simultaneous measurements of S sub 11 and S sub 21 parameters in the 0.4 to 18 GHz frequency range. Various techniques to produce rf pulses less than 500 ps wide were considered. The approach selected was based on harmonic generator techniques and provided a 3 V peak-to-peak pulse with appreciable spectral amplitude in the 9 to 18 GHz frequency range. An rf pulse generator incorporating this principle was build for the U. S. Army. Procedures and results of S sub 21 measurements above 10 GHz and S sub 11, S sub 21 measurements between 0.4 to 10 GHz are reported.
