Method for the controlled connection of a calibration standard in a calibration module and an associated calibration module

Abstract

A method according to the present disclosure for the controlled connection of a calibration standard in an associated calibration module to a port to be calibrated of a network analyser connects the port to be calibrated of the network analyser to a high-frequency port of the calibration module. It transmits a high-frequency signal generated in the network analyser with an information signalling the calibration standard to be used to the high-frequency port of the calibration module. Within the calibration module, the information signalling the calibration standard to be used is detected from the high-frequency signal received in the calibration module, and the calibration standard to be used is connected to the high-frequency port of the calibration module by a control unit integrated in the calibration module.
