Induction therapy for non small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) using the principle of radiation therapy induced sensitization to chemotherapy: A phase II study
7317 Background: Previously we reported an enhanced effectiveness of chemotherapy in induction therapy of stage III lung cancer following a relatively low dose(20 Gy) of radiation therapy (Proc ASC...
In this paper we analyze the impact of systematic errors in TRL calibration on the extracted equivalent circuit parameters of the measured device. We mainly focus on extraction of RLCG-parameters (resistance, inductance, capacitance, conductance) of transmission lines and inductors. We show how the uncertainties in measured S-parameters and in determined characteristic impedance propagate into RLCG-parameters. In particular, we emphasize the importance and the difficulty of an accurate determination of the imaginary part of characteristic impedance. We use the results of our sensitivity analysis to estimate the accuracy of RLCG-parameter extraction of a coplanar transmission line and a 2.2 nH spiral inductor. Finally, we propose an alternative method for determination of certain RLCG-parameters based on causal relationships.
