	All about Vector Network Analyzer Calibration Learn about many of the sources of error and how each contribute to overall accuracy when making vector network analyzer measurements. Calibration is an important process for any RF instrument, however, accurate vector network analysis can be largely affected by temperature, test environment, differences in cables, and test fixtures. Therefore, more frequent user calibration is required. Explore the theory behind vector network analyzer calibrations including response, enhanced response, and automatic calibration. Also see a demonstration of precision automatic calibration. View now
