FT50-43 Panel Jack Fixture


  • Arbitrary Calibration using SDR-Kit BNC Calibration Kit
    Delays = Cal Kit Delay + -106ps (11mm Amphenol 031-203-RFX)
  • OSLT,Th calibration with empty fixture in line.
  • Port extension not enabled.
  • S11 from t2s(S21) with S21 12 Term Correction
  • Fair-Rite 5943000301 (FT50-43) 1T
  • SimSmith D1.Lo tuned for 200kHz mup = 792
  • FRmup Red trace = Fair-Rite μ' with incorrect high frequency negative values
  • (mup*Lo+Hc)/Lo Green trace = Fair-Rite μ' with correction for 1GHz μ'=1
  • FT50-mup Blue trace = FT50-43 μ' measurement, no correction



t2s(S21) vs. S11

  • Arbitrary S11 Calibration using SDR-Kit BNC Calibration Kit
  • Port delay for Amphenol 112538 = 64ps
    8mm + 25.7ps Fringe C, 8/0.3/0.695 = 38.4 + 25.7 = 64
  • Fair-Rite 5943000301 (FT50-43) 1T (same core as above)
  • t2s(S21) for 5943000301 same as above
