I am trying to create a TRL cal kit for a customized substrate. The bandwidth I am interested is from 10 to 60GHz. Anyone can share knowledge on how I can come up with a cal kit for this purpose? Please bear with me since I am quite ignorant on this.
Specifically, the questions break down into at least the following a few:
1. How do I decide on the TRL dimensions? Should I avoid frequencies for which the length of the cal kit may be 1/4 or 1/2 wavelength? Any other considerations?
2. How to come up (or extract) with parameters for this kits for VNA use?
3. How is the reference plane decided?
4. How to verify the accuracy of the new developed kits?
Thank you!
