At millimeter wave frequencies the quarter wavelength lines required to carry out a TRL calibration become so thin as to become fragile and prone to damage and distortion.
By using multiple 1⁄4 λg lines the need to use very thin, fragile sections is negated, ensuring a more reliable and repeatable calibration.
Flann millimeter wave calibration kits have been designed in close co-operation with NPL and incorporate 3⁄4 λg or 5⁄4 λg sections. Flann has been awarded a licence by NPL to manufacture devices using this technology.
