## Abstract

The invention relates to a calibration array (10; 50) for calibrating a network analyzer, the array having multiple calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24) for direct or indirect connection to a network analyzer, and a main body connected to said calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24), at least one of the calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24) being rotatable in relation to the main body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A calibration arrangement (10) for calibrating a network analyzer, comprising
multiple calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24) for the direct or indirect connection to a network analyzer;
a main body (10) which includes the calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24);
wherein at least one of the calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24) is rotatable with respect at least one part of the main body (14, 16).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body (12) comprises a first main-body part (14) and a second main-body part (16), wherein the second main-body part is rotatable with respect to the first main-body part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first main-body part is connected to the second main-body part via at least one connecting element (26).

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim 3, wherein the at least one connecting element is designed as a screw, a driver pin, a magnet, or the like.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3, 4)

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim 3 or 4, wherein the force to be applied for rotating the first and/or the second main-body part is adjustable via the connecting element.

### Claim 6

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim one of the preceding claims, wherein a spring (28) is arranged in the first main-body part and/or in the second main-body part.

### Claim 7

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein at least one disk (30; 32; 34), in particular a plastic disk, is formed in the main body (12).

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The calibration arrangement (10) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the disk is situated between the spring (28) and the connecting element and/or between the spring (28) and the main-body part which comprises the spring (28), and or between the first and the second main-body part.

### Claim 9

A method for operating a calibration arrangement (10) comprising multiple calibration points (18, 20, 22, 24), which includes the following steps:
connecting one calibration point of the calibration arrangement (10) to a network analyzer for a match, a short, and/or an open, and carrying out the corresponding calibration;
disconnecting the calibration arrangement (10) and the network analyzer;
rotating one part of the calibration arrangement, which includes a calibration point for establishing a thru to the network analyzer;
establishing a thru between the calibration arrangement (10) and the network analyzer.
