    DUT is fully connected to the switch matrix, it may not be possible to measure all b waves simultaneously. For example, consider a DUT with 6 unbalanced ports, connected to a 2-port analyzer via the R&S ZN-Z86 base unit without extension. For each stimulus port, 5 sweeps are required to measure the resulting b waves, 6·5 = 30 sweeps in total.

If none of the two VNA ports of a submatrix is connected, obviously no connection between the VNA and the submatrix's test ports can be established and hence neither reflection nor transmission measurements are possible.
