Abstract
A procedure for an automatically controlled calibration of a network a nalyzer is presented. The basic element is a switching network to real ize the calibration standards, the switching network forms a part of t he analyzer. To characterize the relative scattering parameters of the switching network an application of an occasional precalibration is n ecessary. In contrast to commercially available procedures like TRM th e effort of the new calibration technique is decreased. The measuremen t results are as accurate as using the TRM method.
