Load Match (ELF and ELR)
Description
Load match is a measure of the impedance match of the test port that
terminates the output of a
2-port
device. Load match error terms are
characterized by measuring the reflection
(Sll,
S22)
responses of a “through”
configuration during the calibration procedure.

Affected Measurements
All transmission and reflection measurements of a low insertion loss two-port
devices are most affected by load match errors. Transmission measurements of
lossy devices are also affected.
