I want to ask how feasible it is in following cases:
Dielectric constant ~4, frequency 10 to 20GHz
Er used in design = 4, in reality 3.8
1) After fabrication of IQ receiver with wrong Er=4.
provide test signal to reciever, calculate phase error (IQ must be +/-90 for two test signals). Correct layout according to calculated phase differences. Is it common method?
2) Fabrication of lambda/4 stub test circuit, use it's output as LO for receiver. By adding/removing copper to lambda/4 stub find the length, at wich receiver stops operating (too low LO level indicates, that lambda/4 stub have correct length)
