Highlights:

• Easiest way to remove fixture effects from non-coaxial device measurements
• Extract fixture S-parameters from 2x thru or one-port measurements
• Step-by-step wizard to characterize the fixture and remove it from the measurements
• De-embedded files can be saved in a variety of formats for later use
• Compatible with all USB vector network analyzer

Many of today's devices do not have coaxial connectors and are put in fixtures in order to measure them in a coaxial environment. Accurately removing the effects of the fixture is required to get a good measurement of the device under test (DUT). Previously complicated modeling in EM simulation software or multiple calibration standards fabricated on board were needed to characterize and remove a fixture.

Automatic fixture removal (AFR) is the fastest way to de-embed a fixture from the measurement. The application adds a powerful application wizard to guide you through characterizing a fixture and removing it from the measurement. Devices can be single-ended or differential. Files can be saved in a variety of formats for later use in Streamline Series VNA.
