No, I believe, you need to do TRL, LRM OR ALRM calibration to take into account phase delay Regards Naresh -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Singh, Navroop Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 11:25 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Calibration VNA question Hello All, I am struggling to understand the calibration process of VNA. I am doing open, short and Load calibration with calibration kit. I understand that when calibration is done the measurement plane is set to the end of the coaxial cable. Here is my dilemma: When we are doing calibration with a calibration kit , the actual location of short , open and load point is at some delay from the end of the coaxial cable ( I have attached coaxial cable which have SMA termination ). Is that delay is already accounted in the calibration or we have to do port extension to compensate for that delay ? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and opinions.
