Obtaining Characteristics After Embedding/De-embedding 4-port Network

Operational Procedure

Step 1. Prepare a 4-port touchstone data file (.s4p format) corresponding to a network you want to
embed/de-embed.
Step 2. Press
Step 3. Press
A, B, or C (Figure 7-6).
Step 4. Press
connect ports 1 and 2 of the 4-port network.

NOTE When defined in the 4-port Touchstone data file, a 4-port network assumes that ports 1 and
2 are connected to the analyzer and that ports 3 and 4 are connected to the DUT.
For measuring a 4-port DUT with a 4-port network embed/de-embed only on one side,
select topology C instead of A, set embedding/de-embedding on the desired side, and
specify no processing (None) on the other side.
For measuring a 3-port DUT with a 4-port network embed/de-embed on one side and a
2-port network on the other side, select topology B instead of A, embed/de-embed a 4-port
network on one side, and embed/de-embed a 2-port network on the other side using the
2-port matching circuit embedding feature or the 2-port network de-embedding feature.
Step 5. Press
