Abstract
An automatically controlled calibration procedure will be presented which is based on a virtual transformation of calibration standards. The basic element is a switching network added to the network analyzer. This network is a part of the analyzer, so it will not be removed after the calibration has been finished. It is not necessary to know the characteristics of the single switching states. Compared with commercially available procedures the expense of the new calibration technique is decreased.<>
