ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a measurement arrangement for determining the characteristic line parameters by measuring the S-parameters as a function of the frequency of transmission lines. A voltage mesh and a ground mesh in a metal layer are connected symmetrically to a reference ground (RG) in the layer at all ends.
