Appendix C
Cal coefficients model
Offset devices like offset shorts and offset opens can
be modeled by the following signal flow graph :
Figure 1 Signal flow graph model of offset devices
The offset portion of the open or short, is modeled
as a perfectly uniform lossy air dielectric transmis-
sion line. The expected coefficient of reflection, Γ,
of the open or short then can be solved by signal
flow graph technique.
