Advantages of balanced DUT evaluation using fixture simulator

Balanced device evaluation using the fixture simulator offers the following advantages:

Calibration reference plane can be easily moved to the DUT's terminal after calibration

is performed at the connectors where calibration standards can be connected.

Undesired network can be removed to eliminate measurement errors (port extension,

network de-embedding).

Characteristics of a DUT, including desired matching circuits, can be obtained easily

(matching circuit embedding, differential matching circuit embedding). Port reference

impedance can be set freely (port reference impedance conversion, differential port

reference impedance conversion).

Differential mode and common mode signal evaluation (mixed-mode S-parameter

evaluation) can be performed easily (balance-unbalance conversion).
