All of the pages on Microwaves101 on PIM were contributed by Jack Kouzoujian, maybe 20 years ago. He was (is?) the head of Matrix Test Equipment. If you can find him, he could be a lot of help.
There might be some type of header that fits over the drain supply pin, but that would not work on the ground lug. Honestly, I like your idea, especially since you never have to worry about a clip-leab falling off!
It does seem weird that there are 2.92 to 3.5mm adapters available... how accurate do you need a calibration? if you don't work for NIST maybe you can ignore a slight discontinuity.
I would like to see the data sheet on the 2.92 mm connector with dielectric.... Thanks!
This is great! I will add it to the page as an alternative way to interpolate. SciKit RF is awesome, I'm still waiting for Alex to print up some new shirts. Blam!
That makes sense! How about if you test some samples at peak power slightly about the requirement, left them on a hot plate, and saw no measurable change in S-parameters or DC current? Would that be a convincing argument?
