Ultra-low Impedance Testing Using the 2-Port Shunt-Through Measurement Technique

Every cable will have cable losses which are marked as cable resistances in Figure 3. Due to National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for public safety, all grounds in a VNA have to be connected together. This forms a ground loop in the 2-port shunt-through measurements as shown in Figure 3.
