5. Defining calibration kit
Define the values of the calibration standards in the same manner as 2-port TRL/LRM calibration.
6. Performing calibration measurement
6-1) Press each of the Thru, Reflection, and activated Match/Lines keys in the main control panel, and then
press each calibration measurement key that appears in the User Menu area to perform the calibration
measurements.
NOTE:
In multiport TRL/LRM calibration, the through and line calibration measurements are not performed at all of
the paths among test ports. The following table shows the measured paths of the through and line calibration
measurements. The through and line calibration data of non-measured paths is mathematically derived from
the through and line calibration data of the measured paths.

For example, if you perform 3-port calibration for test ports 1, 2, and 3 by using the Match, Line1 and Line2
standards, perform the calibration measurements as follows:
Through measurement (Figure 8):
- Press Thru.
- Make the through condition for test ports 1 and 2, and press [ ]Thru 1-2. The through measurement
is performed, and an asterisk is indicated.
- Make the through condition for test ports 1 and 3, and press [ ]Thru 1-3. The through measurement
is performed and an asterisk is indicated.
