More generally what hardware do you have access to or can you get by  
yourself ? Just to know what we would need to provide.

Cheers,

Hi Mitul,

one suggestion regarding the output of the VNA: since you do scattered  
parameters calculation, you may want to include also b, Y, h, z (I think  
you calculate this) parameters output. Here is an old Agilent app note  
with formulas between those parameters in appendix B:

I’m not sure how the GSOC thing works, but if there is anything I can do  
to help make this project happen, let me know!

This very idea has been on my “some day” shelf for far to long…

A couple of questions:

- Good detail on your deliverables!
- Do you have access to a real VNA to compare results with the GR  
solution?
