Abstract :
A newly developed method allows dual six-port automatic network analyzers (ANA´s) to be calibrated with a single, known one-port termination instead of air line standards. This technique is especially useful for calibrations below 30 MHz, where air lines cannot be adequately characterized. The choice of the value of the standard is also discussed
