Measurement Calibration
Next, a short circuit termination whose response is known to a very high degree is used to establish another
condition as shown in Figure

The open circuit gives the third independent condition. In order to accurately model the phase variation with
frequency due to fringing capacitance from the open connector, a specially designed shielded open circuit is
used for this step. (The open circuit capacitance is different with each connector type.) Now the values for
E , directivity, E , source match, and E
