Abstract
A general theory for performing network analyzer calibration is presented. Novel calibration procedures are derived which allow for partly unknown standards. The most general procedure derived is called TAN and allows for five unknown parameters in the three calibration standards. The values of the unknown parameters are determined during the calibration procedure via eigenvalue conditions. The good performance of all the procedures has been shown experimentally. This wide spectrum of procedures using different calibration standards makes it possible to choose an optimal algorithm for any environment
