Filed:

Feb 9, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/500661

Inventors:

Robert A. Conte - Manalapan NJ

Assignee:

Avaya Technology Corp. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

G01D 1800

US Classification:

702 85, 324601

Abstract:

A calibration procedure for correcting two port frequency measurements. Calibration standards are initially connected to port one of a network analyzer and individually measured. This process is repeated with port two of the analyzer. A jumper which is used to bridge ports one and two is then connected to port one. At the far end of the jumper, three references are sequentially connected and the combination of the jumper and the terminations are measured. The raw data measured thus far is then processed to extract the two port electrical parameters of the jumper. The measured jumper is then bridged between ports one and two, and a series of measurements are made. Using the known electrical characteristics of the jumper, an intervening network is completely characterized and the measured S and actual S parameters of any device to be tested are relayed.

Abstract:

A method for correcting reciprocity error in two port network measurements, in which an iterative algorithm is used to obtain an optimal symmetric matrix approximation to a measured 2Ã2 reciprocal network. The algorithm smooths measured data to obtain a low noise floor on measurements related to mode conversion in cables and connecting hardware. A geometric interpretation is used to approximate a measured data vector with the closest vector which satisfies the reciprocity constraint. An initial point in the constraint surface (reciprocity manifold) is located, and another point which is a better approximation of the measured data vector which satisfies the reciprocity constraint is generated. By repeating this process, the closest point in the manifold is quickly located. This closest point defines a reciprocal matrix which can be used to estimate the actual device under test (DUT) parameters.

International Classification:

H05K007/20

US Classification:

361/709000

Abstract:

A heat sink comprises pins, located in a holding base plate, that are positioned so that the end of each pin is exposed and attached by a thermally conductive material to a heat generating source, such as an internal electronic insulator assembly or a semiconductor die. The pins have various diameters and shapes, such as circular, square, diamond, helical, elliptical, triangular and rectangular that can be made from any thermally conductive material, such as metals, ceramics, organic and inorganic compounds. The pins are located inside a holding base plate that can comprise a medium that will support the structure, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, polymeric, organic and inorganic compounds. The pins are arranged in a geometric pattern of any design shape, repetition of such patterns and concentration of such patterns. The ends of the pins can be straight flat cut or of nail head design.
