Calibration Config
The tabular page, called Calibration Config, is designed to configure a VNA
calibration. The result will be the switch and error terms of the VNA. There
are two models of the VNA:
Generic Model stores the switch terms in a N -port and the error terms are
stored in a 2N -port for a N -port VNA. For a two port VNA, this calibration model is known as 7-term model. It supports the following calibration
types: One Port, GSOLT, QSOLT, Unknown Thru, TRL (only 2-port),
Juroshek, LHKM and Optimization.
Switched Model stores the error terms in a 2N -port for each switch position
for a N -port VNA. For a two port This model is used for the SOLT
calibration.
The following S-parameter matrix

Dx denotes the directivity of port x.
Xy,x denotes the crosstalk from port x to port y.
Tx,x denotes the reflection tracking of port x.
Ty,x denotes the transmission tracking from port x to port y where Ty,x =
Ty, T,x .
Mx denotes the match of port x and all other terms are additional crosstalk
terms.
On the tabular page, called Calibration Config, the following user controls are
available, see Figure 29:
New Config creates a new calibration configuration.
New Config from Template loads a configuration template.
Load Config loads an existing configuration from a file (*.calcfg).
Save Config saves the configuration to a file (*.calcfg).
Start Computation computes the VNA calibration and saves the VNA calibration to a file (*.calb).
Cancel Computation cancels the computation.
