Page 7: General Overview
General Overview The Module is designed for calibration (error correction) of Vector Network Analyzers in automatic mode. Calibration is performed by automatically connecting the reflection and transmission impedance states to the VNA test ports. Calibration determines systematic errors in accordance with the VNA model. The process of mathematical compensation (numerical reduction) for measurement systematic errors is called error correction.
