Abstract
Equations, examples, and a table are given to help choose the best length for a precision transmission line which is used in some methods for calibrating a network analyzer. One line will cover a frequency range of about 10:1. Two lines will cover a range of about 65:1.

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and TechniquesThru-Reflect-Line: An Improved Technique for Calibrating the Dual Six-Port Automatic Network Analyzer
1,548 Citations1979Glenn F. Engen, C.A. Hoer
This paper will develop the theory for a new procedure for calibrating the dual six-port automatic network analyzer that required only a length of precision transmission line and a "calibration circuit".
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and TechniquesA Generalization of the TSD Network-Analyzer Calibration Procedure, Covering n-Port Scattering-Parameter Measurements, Affected by Leakage Errors
133 Citations1977R.A. Speciale
The basic philosophy of the through-short-delay (TSD) calibration procedure for two-port automated network analyzers has been extended to n-port scattering-parameter measurements, while also accounting for the errors due to possible signal leakage between all port pairs.
A New Procedure for System Calibration and Error Removal in Automated S-Parameter Measurements
99 Citations1975Norman R. Franzen, R.A. Speciale
A new procedure is described, intended for system calibration and systematic error removal in automated S-parameter measurements and leads to a set of equations for which a fast, non-iterative, explicit solution is known.
Accurate Scattering Parameter Measurements on Non-Connectable Microwave Networks

The development of an explicit and exact algorithm, computing the equivalent error representation for a network analyzer system, makes accurate measurements possible upon non-connectable microwave networks, embedded in complex transmission line environments.
