Abstract
In this contribution, an extension of the Bianco-Parodi method for measuring odd- and even-mode propagation constants of coupled-lines from only two-port measurements is described. The method requires four coupled-line sections with different lengths, loaded with the same arbitrary impedances, and connected to the network analyser by the same symmetric four-port. The resulting structure is a symmetric two-port that can be modelled by a lattice network [2]. It can be easily proved that each of the two lattice network branch impedances are independently controlled by the odd- and even-mode propagation constants, respectively. As a consequence, it is possible to extract both propagation constants, by using twice the Bianco-Parodi method, from only the S-parameters of the overall two-ports.
