Abstract
The purpose of a through calibration is to correct errors in transmission coefficients in both the forward and reverse directions between two measurement ports of a circuit network measurement device having many ports. If there are N measurement ports, error corrections of the transmission coefficients are necessary for all combinations of two measurement ports selected from N ports. The calibration method of this invention is one in which the calibration measurements are performed with n combinations, rather than all combinations, and calibration values for all combinations are obtained by calculation. The n combinations and their measurements may be performed by any combination that satisfies the following conditions: (A) there are triangular combinations of connected ports; (B) all of the other combinations of ports are linked with the triangular combination; and (C) in one combination among the triangular combinations, a measurement of the transmission coefficient in only one direction is sufficient.
