ABSTRACT:
For calibrating a network analyzer having two test ports by successive measurements of the transmission and the reflection parameters on a plurality of calibration standards in any desired order, from which correction values are then calculated that are taken into account in subsequent measurements of a device-under-test, at least five successive calibration measurements with predetermined calibration standards or calibration standards in the form of discrete components according to basic predetermined circuits are performed. A total of 15 correction values is then calculated from the measured values obtained with these calibration standards.
