2 Outline Introduction VA Measurement Model Database Uncertainty Visualization Results Michael Wollensack METAS

3 Introduction Problem Computation of the uncertainties of S-parameter measurements. Solution Set up a measurement model for the Vector etwork Analyzer and propagate all uncertainties through the VA measurement model. Michael Wollensack 3 METAS

4 Measurement Errors Which non correctable influences affect the S-parameter measurements? oise floor and trace noise Linearity Drift of switch and calibration error terms Cable stability Connector repeatability Calibration standard definitions Michael Wollensack 4 METAS

5 VA Measurement Model The following equation describes the in VA Tools II used -port VA measurement model. All bold variables are S-parameter matrices and i is the measurement index. M (i) = R (i) + [( W + V (i)) [( E + D (i)) [C (i) S (i)]]] W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 5 METAS

6 VA Measurement Model - Raw Data M denotes the raw data measured by the VA. It changes from measurement to measurement. R denotes the noise and linearity influences. It changes from measurement to measurement. W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 6 METAS

7 VA Measurement Model - Switch Terms W denotes the switch terms. It s constant during an entire calibration. V denotes the drift of the switch terms. It changes from measurement to measurement. W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 7 METAS

8 VA Measurement Model - Calibration Error Terms E denotes the calibration error terms. It s constant during an entire calibration. D denotes the drift of the calibration error terms. It changes from measurement to measurement. W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 8 METAS

9 VA Measurement Model - Cable and Connector C denotes the cable stability and connector repeatability influences. It changes for every new connection or cable movement. W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 9 METAS

10 VA Measurement Model - Error Corrected Data S denotes the error corrected data or the calibration kit standard definitions. It changes if a new device is connected. W E M R W + V + E + D + C + S M M S S Figure: VA Measurement Model Michael Wollensack 0 METAS

11 Database All influences that affect the measurements are defined as uncertainties in a database. There are two types of uncertainties:. Additive quantities. Multiplicative quantities There are four types of database items:. VA Device (noise, linearity, drift). Cable (stability) 3. Connector (repeatability) 4. Calibration Standard All influences are frequency dependent. VA Tools II has a graphical user interface to edit items in the database. Michael Wollensack METAS

12 Database - Type of Uncertainties Additive Quantity The real and imaginary part is specified in db. Multiplicative Quantity The magnitude is specified in db and the phase in deg. Real Mag (0, 0) Imag (, 0) Phase Figure: Additive Quantity Figure: Multiplicative Quantity Michael Wollensack METAS

13 Database - VA Device There are three groups of uncertainty definitions for a VA device:. oise. Linearity 3. Drift Figure: DB VA Device Settings Michael Wollensack 3 METAS

14 Database - VA Device oise oise Floor in db (additive) Trace oise in db rms and deg rms (multiplicative) Figure: DB VA Device oise Michael Wollensack 4 METAS

15 Database - VA Device Linearity Linearity in db and deg depends on power level (multiplicative) Figure: DB VA Device Linearity Michael Wollensack 5 METAS

16 Database - VA Device Drift Switch Term Drift in db (additive) Directivity Drift in db (additive) Tracking Drift in db and deg (multiplicative) Match Drift in db (additive) Isolation Drift in db (additive) Figure: DB VA Device Drift Michael Wollensack 6 METAS

17 Database - Cable Cable Stability Stability in db and deg (multiplicative) Figure: DB Cable Michael Wollensack 7 METAS

18 Database - Connector Connector Repeatability Repeatability in db (additive) Figure: DB Connector Michael Wollensack 8 METAS

19 Database - Calibration Standard Agilent Model Standard Open and Short have specified Phase Deviation in deg. Magnitude deviation assumed to be the same as the phase deviation. (multiplicative) Load has specified Return Loss in db. (additive) Figure: DB Agilent Model Standard Michael Wollensack 9 METAS

20 Database - Calibration Standard Databased Standard Uncertainties explicitly stated for each data point. Figure: DB Databased Standard Michael Wollensack 0 METAS

21 Metas.UncLib Metas.UncLib is a measurement uncertainty calculator. The user specifies input quantities X with input covariance matrix V X measurement model f Metas.UncLib computes output quantities Y = f (X) Jacobi matrix J YX of f using automatic differentiation output covariance matrix V Y = J YX V X J YX Input quantities corr X X X 3 Measurement model f f Output quantities corr Y Y Figure: Metas.UncLib Michael Wollensack METAS

22 Uncertainty Generators Uncertainty Generators are used to generates Metas.UncLib input uncertain quantities. The value of an uncertain quantity is zero for additive quantities or one for multiplicative quantities. The standard uncertainty of an uncertain quantity comes from the database. The uncertainty generator decides if the uncertain quantity gets a new (uncorrelated) or an existing (correlated) uncertain input id. There are three groups of uncertainty generators:. oise and linearity influences. Drift of switch and error terms 3. Cable stability and connector repeatability Michael Wollensack METAS

23 Uncertainty Generators - oise and Linearity oise Uncorrelated for each measurement. Depends on the VA device noise floor and trace noise definition. Linearity R Correlated for each measurement. Depends on the VA device linearity definition. Figure: oise and linearity influences Michael Wollensack 3 METAS

24 Uncertainty Generators - Drift of Switch and Error Terms W E Drift Uncorrelated for each measurement. Depends on the VA device drift definition. + + W + V E + D + + Figure: Drift of switch and error terms Michael Wollensack 4 METAS

25 Uncertainty Generators - Cable and Connector Cable Uncorrelated for each new cable position. Depends on the cable stability definition. Connector Uncorrelated for each new connection. Depends on the connector repeatability definition. p Cable C p Conn. 0 0 R p, R p, C p Figure: Cable stability and connector repeatability -port p Michael Wollensack 5 METAS

26 Uncertainty Propagation The uncertainty generators are represented by R, V, D and C. Vna measurement model: M (i) = R (i) + [( W + V (i)) [( E + D (i)) [C (i) S (i)]]] Calibration and error correction are based on the above equation. Michael Wollensack 6 METAS

27 Uncertainty Propagation The uncertainty generators are represented by R, V, D and C. Vna measurement model: M (i) = R (i) + [( W + V (i)) [( E + D (i)) [C (i) S (i)]]] Calibration and error correction are based on the above equation. Linear uncertainty propagation is done with Metas.UncLib. The complexity is hidden from the user and from the VA Tools II programmer. Metas.UncLib takes care about correlations. Michael Wollensack 7 METAS
