ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for calibrating a measurement path of 2N measurement ports comprises presenting a high reflect calibration standard at each measurement port and measuring a reflection characteristic for each measurement port, presenting a line calibration standard and a through calibration standard between each one of N direct pairs of the measurement ports and measuring forward and reverse reflection and transmission responses and calculating a load match error coefficient for each measurement port, and presenting only the through calibration standard between indirect pairs of measurement ports and calculating the forward and reverse transmission tracking for each indirect pairs of measurement ports.
