A system for analyzing a passive network is provided, the system being configured to extend the frequency band with the interpolation function of the low frequency band and the extrapolation function of the high frequency band for S-parameters with limited measurement band, adjust the propagation delay time for the band-extended S-parameter to derive the final band-extended S-parameter, and analyze the time response of the passive network on the basis of the output voltage waveform estimated by performing convolution on the impulse response to the derived final band-extended S-parameter and the input voltage waveform of the passive network, thereby improving the time response performance of the passive network without a complex circuit conversion process, and making it possible to be capable of lightweight structures. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the impulse response by adjusting the propagation delay time removed from the band-limited S-parameter.

A method for calibrating crosstalk errors in a system for measuring on-wafer S parameters and an electronic device are provided. The method includes two parts. The first part is the pre-calibration part, which obtain eight error terms of an on-wafer S parameter measurement system by using a thru calibration standard, two defined load calibration standards, two pairs of undefined reflect calibration standards, and the reciprocity properties of a passive reciprocal element. The first part performs pre-calibration on an uncalibrated system according to the eight error terms. The second part uses the pre-calibrated system to obtain the crosstalk errors of the measurement system, and performs a further calibration on the pre-calibrated system according to the crosstalk errors.

A radio frequency (RF) based waveguide health monitoring system is disclosed. The system employs an RF transmitter for launching a probe RF waveform into a waveguide. Reflections, etc., from the interior of the waveguide of the probe RF waveform create a signature RF waveform, with a health RF receiver receiving this resultant signature RF waveform. A health processing system analyzes the signature RF waveform, and when it detects a change indicative of a deformation of the waveguide, generates a warning signal. This change may be due to bends, flexes, vibrations (or changes in vibrations), or separations of the waveguide. The system may have low frequency, high frequency, or high frequency imaging modes. The system may employ a high-power probe RF waveform, thereby enabling a wireless charging system with power RF receivers located along the length of the waveguide providing additional functionality.
