Standard Definitions
Vector Network Analyzer hardware and test cables have a set of well understood systematic errors that
affect the unprocessed measurements made by the instrument. The calibration standards in this kit have
precisely-known electrical behavior, and during calibration the VNA software uses the raw measurement
data and the known behavior of the standards to calculate the phase and magnitude of up to 12 complex
error terms at each frequency point of the calibration. Once calibrated, the instrument applies Vector Error
Correction to each data point measured.
