Measurement Uncertainty in Network Analyzers:
Differential Error DE Analysis of Error Models Part 6:
FLOSS - Software Tools

Abstract

Two software tools were developed to compute and illustrate the
uncertainty estimation of one-port VNA measurements using
Complex Differential Error Regions, DERs, and their
corresponding Differential Error Intervals, DEIs, in polar and
rectangular form. The first tool, [REGION], was written in Open
Watcom FORTRAN F77 Compiler as a Command Line Interface for
calculations and is the programming realization of the graphical
DER construction presented by the authors in the previous part
of this series. The second tool, [DERDEI], was written in Maxima
and is used as a Graphical User Interface for illustrations.
Both of them were written with these Open, Free and under
continuous support software development systems, in order to be
publicly available, since the corresponding previously written
and used by the authors programs demand the proprietary
Mathematica application. The presented tools were tested with
our VNA system measurement data but they can be easily used with
any other VNA data ensuring that the text files have the same,
specifically defined, format, valid under SLO calibration for
one-port measurements. In order to demonstrate our method a
number of selected experimental results along with some extreme
cases of DERs and their DEIs, under particular circumstances,
are also presented. The developed software tools are available
on the Internet as FLOSS Free Libre Open Source Software.
