本論文提出一種能使用雙埠向量網路分析儀精確量測平衡式元件的方法，結合了重新正規化法及混合模態轉換法這兩種技術，可以用在同軸元件量測上。先以模擬的方式分別驗證上述兩種技術並確認方法是可行的之後，再實際以FR4基板製作一Marchand Balun並且使用本論文發展的系統進行量測。此系統純粹以軟體計算的方式求取平衡式元件特性，而不需要增加額外的硬體設備，此外，配合微波開關的使用亦能應用此方法到晶圓上元件之量測。

This thesis presented a complete measurement method for accurate characterization of balanced devices using two-port vector network analyzer. Combining renormalization and mixed-mode transformation techniques, this method is good for coaxial components. At first, the feasibility of the method was confirmed with the help of ADS simulation. Then a real example of Marchand balun fabricated on FR4 substrate was measured with calibrated mixed-mode S-parameters that have been further verified by full-wave simulations. The measurement system developed based on this method does not require any additional hardware to the vector network analyzer. This system can be also applied to the measurement of on-wafer components with the help of some microwave switches.
