This section uses an example measurement to describe how to calibrate
for and make an S

an S measurement. This example uses an enhanced response

calibration, but other calibration choices are also available. For example,
a two-port calibration, explained earlier in this chapter, could be used for
this measurement. Although the two-port calibration is the most
accurate form of error correction, it results in a slower measurement
speed than when using other calibrations. See the table below for a list of
all possible calibration choices for S
An optimum calibration is critical for achieving best measurement
accuracy. Refer to Chapter 6, "Calibrating for Increased Measurement
Accuracy," for detailed information about all of the various aspects of
calibration.
