I've found and bought an affordable SMA transfer switch (2x2 switch) on eBay and I was hoping it would allow me to extend nanoVNA or one of my home build VNA's to full two port capability by extending the calibration routines in the TAPR VNA software
Do I understand correctly that, as you are not able to measure all errors using a transfer switch connected to port 1 and port 2, you can only do the TwoPortOnePath calibration?
What would be the impact of this in practice????
Given I can measure and ensure both ports are rather close to a real 50 ohm using a second VNA: would the inability to correct some errors have a major impact on practical measurements of filters that are sensitive to port mismatch?
Remember for me this is all hobby use and being able to measure with an error less then some/one dB is great
