LRL/LRM Introduction
This chapter describes LRL/LRM calibration algorithms and procedures. The LRL/LRM/ALRM family of calibrations relies more on the fundamental behavior of certain components (primarily transmission lines) than it does on characterized/modeled behaviors of components. It makes less use of redundancy, so fewer measurements are needed to complete a calibration, but it is also less tolerant of poor or non-repeatable measurements.
