skrf.calibration.calibration.TRL

class skrf.calibration.calibration.TRL(measured, ideals=None, estimate_line=False, n_reflects=1, solve_reflect=True, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Thru-Reflect-Line (also called LRL for Line-Reflect-Line).

A Similar self-calibration algorithm as developed by Engen and Hoer [1], more closely following into a more matrix form in [2].

Reference impedance of the calibration is characteristic impedance of the transmission lines. If the characteristic impedance is known, reference impedance can be renormalized using EightTerm.renormalize function.
