Port Set De-/Embedding
The port set de-/embedding feature allows de-/embedding a linear 2m-port network
connecting m physical VNA ports to m physical DUT ports (m
≥
2).

Figure 5-9: Port Set De-/Embedding
As shown in section
Combining Several De-/Embedding Networks
ding is calculated after single-ended deembedding, and the port set embedding step
precedes single ended embedding. It is possible to combine a sequence of port sets
for deembedding (embedding), each port set having its own transformation network.
The effect of port set de-/embedding depends on the port sets themselves but also on
their order. The same physical ports can be used repeatedly in different port sets; it is
also possible to use the same port set repeatedly.
