Sliding Load Calibration
A sliding load is defined by making multiple measurements of the device
with the sliding load element positioned at various marked positions of a
long transmission line. The transmission line is assumed to have zero
reflections and the load element has a finite reflection that can be
mathematically removed using a least squares circle fitting method.
A sliding load calibration can be very accurate when performed perfectly. It
can also be very inaccurate when not using proper technique. For accurate
results, follow the users manual instructions closely.
The following calibration kits are supported:
• 85050B 7 mm Calibration Kit
