How to Accurately Measure and Validate S-Parameters for Transistor Modeling

New video from Franz Sischka shows how to verify s-parameters for obtaining reliable device models. After a quick recap of the network analyzer basics, this video presents a step-by-step guide to master S-parameter measurements, and to get accurate and verified data right the first time.https://youtu.be/f1T2-AY39C4
