It is based on the power divider correlator to obtain estimates of the six-port calibration constants. The calibration procedure is to determine the constants that govern the operation of the six-port from the measurement of power or output ports tensions by placing five to eleven standard loads in succession to DUT. A load and four offset shorts are used as reflection standards. Computer simulation results are presented to show that the described procedure substantially reduces the overall error in the calibration constants. ER -
