Abstract

The connection repeatability is one of the uncertainty sources associated with the VNA measurements. Its investigation is helpful to understand the variability of the repeated VNA measurements. In this chapter, the connection repeatability investigation of the VNA at millimetre frequencies will be presented. The mathematical formulations for the connection repeatability will also be described.
