shorter offset element can be a zero-length (Flush-thru) offset. The load
element is defined as a 1-port reflection standard. An offset load standard
is used when the response of the offset elements are more precisely known
than the response of the load element. This is the case with waveguide.
Measurement of an offset load standard consists of two measurements,
one with each of the two offset elements terminated by the load element.
The frequency range of the offset load standard should be set so that there
will be at least a 20 degree separation between the expected response of
each measurement.
To specify more than two offset elements, define multiple offset load
standards.
