Wikipedia says 18, but they were used without (significant) moding on the HP 8517A/B test sets rated for 50 GHz, so...  :-//  Good question.

The HP8517, properly calibrated, will have compensated for any small-ish deviations from the connector.

True enough, but that reasoning only goes so far.  For instance, if a mode results in large impedance excursions at certain frequencies and you connect the test set to an amplifier port that expects something close to 50R, you might need to de-embed the results. 

As in, "de-embed" the fragments of the MMIC package from your ceiling tiles.

Paul Horowitz:
Winfield and I are happy to sign books, but the shipping to and fro complicates things.  Win has sometimes bought copies of AoE3, which we've then signed and put on eBay for a fixed "buy it now" price that covers our costs (book plus postage).  We'll probably continue that tradition, which aligns well with our test purchases (for checking for counterfeits).

tggzzz:
FYI, in response to someone receiving the book, Win Hill points out...

 Whoa, lucky you!  Paul and I haven't even gotten our
 on-order boxes of books yet.

 BTW, reminder, CUP's 20% discount is over 29 February.
