Abstract
The application of a general self-calibration procedure, the so-called TNA (through, network, attenuator) method, to a dual six-port network analyzer is presented for the first time, This innovation results fro m strictly separating the establishment of the complex measurement abi lity and the determination of the analyzers system error parameters, A s will be seen, the well-known. TRL (through, reflect, line) method is a special case of the general TNA technique.
