In this article we present a study about using VNA calibrated or uncalibrated measurements for the purpose of measuring the Q–factor of a dielectric loaded microwave resonator. We evaluate the uncertainties in Q involved in both methods. We use a complete and robust transmission resonant model for the fit and parameter extraction. The Q values obtained from uncalibrated and calibrated data were compared by taking into account the S-parameter measurement uncertainty.

Abstract
In this article we present a study about using VNA calibrated or uncalibrated measurements for the purpose of measuring the Q–factor of a dielectric loaded microwave resonator. We evaluate the uncertainties in Q involved in both methods. We use a complete and robust transmission resonant model for the fit and parameter extraction. The Q values obtained from uncalibrated and calibrated data were compared by taking into account the S-parameter measurement uncertainty.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
