A method and a system for calibrating a measuring arrangement on the basis of a 16-term error model determines a matrix (A) with measured scattering parameters (S) from different calibration standards () and with associated actual scattering parameters (S) of the calibration standards () and determines linear-in-T system errors (T) for the calibration of a network analyzer () by solving a linear equation system with the determined matrix (A). To solve the linear equation system, a first and a second linear-in-T system error (k, p) are freely selected in each case. With use of reciprocal calibration standards, the determined linear-in-T system errors are weighted with the freely selected first linear-in-T system error (T) or with a correct second linear-in-T system error p(k)) dependent upon the first linear-in-T system error (k).
