Abstract :
Design requirements and tradeoffs related to the calibration of a portable test system are discussed. Current and future approaches to the problem are examined, and their applicability to portable systems is discussed. Solutions developed at the author´s company are detailed. The approach has been to provide the test system with an internal calibration standard so that the system operator can easily verify the station´s calibration by just loading and executing a calibration program.<>
