A method of determining error terms of a device arrangement by a vector network analyzer (VNA) is described. The device arrangement includes a first connection circuit and a second connection circuit having negligible reverse transmission. The method includes connecting a known first calibration standard to a second connector of the first connection circuit and to a first connector of the second connection circuit; generating a test signal by the VNA and outputting the test signal; measuring a transmission signal obtained; repeating the above steps for two further known calibration standards; and determining error terms of the device arrangement based on the signals measured, the error terms describing a signal transmission behavior of the device arrangement.
A method of determining error terms of a device arrangement by a vector network analyzer (VNA), the VNA including a first VNA connector and a second VNA connector and the device arrangement including a first connection circuit and a second connection circuit, the first connection circuit and the second connection circuit each including a first connector and a second connector, wherein the first connection circuit and the second connection circuit each have negligible reverse transmission, the method comprises:
The method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the second connection circuit comprises an amplifier arrangement, the amplifier arrangement being configured to amplify signals from the first connector toward the second connector.
A permanent storage medium, wherein the permanent storage medium comprises a database with error terms, the error terms describing a signal transmission behavior of a device arrangement, wherein the device arrangement includes a first connection circuit and a second connection circuit, the first connection circuit and the second connection circuit each including a first connector and a second connector, and wherein the error terms result based on a linear error term model, wherein in the linear error term model a respective reverse transmission of the first connection circuit and the second connection circuit are set equal to zero.
