4.7.41.4 Multiple paths: precision vs. speed
A switch matrix can offer multiple routes to a given matrix test port. Hence, measure-
ments can be performed using different physical paths, where a path consists of the
traversed VNA connections and matrix routes.
These paths can have different characteristics - in particular if the corresponding matrix
routes differ in the number of semiconductor or mechanical switching functions that
have to be traversed.
Example:
For switch matrix ZV-Z82-09, every test port can be reached via two different routes,
traversing either one or two semiconductor switches:
