Measuring device and a method for measuring a high-frequency signal with deembedding
The invention relates to a measuring device for measuring a high-frequency signal and a method for correcting a high-frequency signal superposed with measurement errors by means of the measuring device. The measurement is a time-domain measurement in real-time. The measuring device provides a measurement-signal input, an analog digital converter and a processing unit, wherein the measurement-signal input is connected to a device under test in order to measure the high-frequency signal. According to the invention a deembedding unit is arranged in the signal path of the measuring device between analog-digital converter and the processing unit in order to compensate measurement errors resulting from the connection of devices under test and measuring devices.
