skrf.calibration.calibration.EightTerm

class skrf.calibration.calibration.EightTerm(measured, ideals, switch_terms=None, isolation=None, ut_hook=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]

General EightTerm (aka Error-box) Two-port calibration.

This is basically an extension of the one-port algorithm to two-port measurements, A least squares estimator is used to determine the error coefficients. No self-calibration takes place. The concept is presented in [1] , but implementation follows that of [2] .

See __init__()

Notes

An important detail of implementing the error-box model is that the internal switch must be correctly accounted for. This is done through the measurement of switch terms.
