The book "Principles and Applications of Vector Network Analyzer Calibration Techniques" by John Doe, PhD, published in 2018 by Academic Publishers, provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of vector network analyzer calibration techniques. The book is divided into four parts: Part I - Introduction to Vector Network Analysis, Part II - Calibration Techniques, Part III - Applications of Vector Network Analysis, and Part IV - Future Directions. Part I - Introduction to Vector Network Analysis In this part, the author provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of vector network analysis, including the definition of a vector network, the importance of calibration, and the need for accurate calibration techniques. The author also discusses the historical background of vector network analysis and its evolution over time. This section serves as a foundation for the rest of the book, providing readers with a solid understanding of the basics of vector network analysis before delving into more advanced topics.
