Abstract
This paper discusses difficulties in precise measurements of the scattering parameters in (sub-)millimeter-wave range and tips for more accurate measurements, and provides measurement examples in the G-band(140~220 GHz). First, one investigates the differences in operating principles of scattering parameters measurement systems used in microwave and (sub-)millimeter-wave ranges and describes tips for better operation of the (sub-)millimeter-wave scattering parameters measurement system. In addition, one describes tips for better transmission properties and connection repeatability of waveguides and a precise measurement method for devices with small reflection coefficients.
