Measured on a real VNA.
Compared against the RayRF prediction.

We measured 9 real structures on a calibrated LiteVNA64 and compared each one to the RayRF prediction. Frequency match is the key metric, and magnitude offsets are shown for reference.

Frequency accuracy

< 1%

Worst-case frequency error across every dip on every structure shown here.

Measured

9structures

Eight patch antennas and an interdigital bandpass filter. All on ZYF 300CA-C, a 0.76 mm PTFE substrate, Dk 2.94, Df 0.0016.

Per-DUT comparison

[IDF01]Interdigital Bandpass Filter (~2.4 GHz)

Four-pole interdigital bandpass filter on ZYF 300CA-C (PTFE, Dk 2.94). The full band shape (number, spacing, and ordering of all four S11 reflection poles) is captured. Pole frequencies match within 1% across the band.

How the measurements were taken.

Instrument

LiteVNA64. Warmed up for 24 hours before measurement, so the instrument is at thermal equilibrium when sweeps begin.

Calibration

SOLT with quality standards, repeated 5 times at equal time increments over the 10-hour session to bound drift.

Sweep

12,276 points per DUT from 1 MHz to 8 GHz, with 5-trace averaging.

S₁₁

Reflection measured with a precision 50 ohm load terminating the through port, to suppress false reflections from cable mismatches.

S₂₁

Transmission via the VNA's direct through-measurement. No de-embedding, so the published number is what you would measure on your own bench.

Range note

LiteVNA64 is rated to 6.3 GHz. Treat content past that as reference only. With 5-trace averaging it is still useful, just noisier.
