Multiple paths: precision vs. speed
A switch matrix may offer multiple routes to a given matrix test port and hence mea-
surements may be performed using different physical paths (where a
path
consists of
the traversed VNA connections and matrix routes).
These paths may have different characteristics - in particular if the corresponding
matrix routes differ in the number of semiconductor or mechanical switching functions
that have to be traversed.
Example:
For switch matrix ZV-Z82-09 every test port can be reached via two different routes,
traversing either one or two semiconductor switches:
