Sliding Load Calibration
A sliding load is defined by making multiple measurements of the device
with the sliding load element positioned at various marked positions of a
long transmission line. The transmission line is assumed to have zero
reflections and the load element has a finite reflection that can be
mathematically removed using a least squares circle fitting method.
A sliding load calibration can be very accurate when performed perfectly. It
can also be very inaccurate when not using proper technique. For accurate
results, follow the users manual instructions closely.
