Hi Sid, This question is actually originated from TRL calibration technique. In Pozar's book, it is written (in terms of ABCD matrix): [Measurement]=[Error]*[DUT]*inv[Error] But I would say, suppose: [Error]=[A,B;C,D], then [Measurement]=[A,B;C,D]*[DUT]*[D,B;C,A] regards, Saoer On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 9:20 PM, Sid Singh <siddharth019@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Saeor, > The answer lies in definition of ABCD matrix.
