Measurement Calibration
Figure 5-39a shows a measurement in log magnitude format with a response calibration only. Figure 5-39b
shows the improvement in the same measurement using an S11 one-port calibration. Figure 5-40a shows
the measurement on a Smith chart with response calibration only, and Figure 5-40b shows the same
measurement with an S11 one-port calibration.

1-Port Calibration on Smith Chart
The response of a device in a log magnitude format is shown in Figure 5-41 on page 5-41. Figure 5-41a
shows the response using a response calibration and Figure 5-41b the response using a full two-port
calibration.
