Chapter 7 De-embedding<br />

NOTE:<br />

Reference planes are not necessary for de-embedding. If you do not<br />

specify a reference plane in the project editor for a box-wall or autogrounded<br />

port, the reference plane length defaults to zero. This<br />

means that em will not shift the reference plane for that port when<br />

de-embedding is enabled. However, em will remove the discontinuity<br />

for that port.<br />

The figure below shows a circuit with a length of transmission line, TRL, inserted<br />

between a box-wall port and the device under test.<br />
