1) Or any other 3 known one-port standards. To be used in a guided calibration, the
known standards must be declared to be open, short, and match irrespective of their
properties.
2) Or any other known two-port standard. See remark above.
The calibration type must be selected in accordance with the test setup. Select the cali-
bration type for which you can obtain or design the most accurate standards and for
which you can measure the required parameters with best accuracy.
3.4.3 Automatic Calibration
A Calibration Unit is an integrated solution for automatic system error correction of vec-
tor network analyzers. For analyzers of the R&S ZVAB family, Rohde & Schwarz pro-
vides different types of calibration units:
●
The 2- and 4-port calibration units R&S ZV-Z51, R&S ZV-Z52, R&S ZV-Z53, R&S
ZV-Z54, and R&S ZV-Z55 are especially suited for R&S ZVA and R&S ZVB vector
network analyzers.
