A measurement application device calibration unit has been patented, comprising a coupling element with connections to couple signals in and out of a signal measurement path. The unit includes a signal processing device to receive and generate predetermined calibration signals for calibration purposes. This device is designed to work with a measurement system that includes multiple measurement application devices, signal measurement paths, and calibration units to calibrate the signal paths based on measured or generated calibration signals.

The patented method involves coupling out a predetermined calibration signal from a signal measurement path, measuring it, generating a known calibration signal, and calibrating the signal path based on these signals. The calibration process includes determining S-parameters of an error network using different calibration standards like open, short, and matched standards. The method also allows for calibrating multiple signal paths by coupling them together via further calibration standards and using a through calibration standard. Overall, the patented technology aims to provide accurate calibration for signal measurement paths in a measurement system, ensuring precise and reliable measurements for various applications.
