Abstract:The uncertain complex number is a simple construct that can be used to achieve full uncertainty propagation in multi-step processing of measurement data. The entity encapsulates information about a measured complex quantity and propagates it through equations by using a few simple algorithms. Software can easily automate the operations involved. The paper shows how uncertain complex numbers can be used to implement calibration and dataprocessing routines for VNA measurements. An example is presented in which t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
