    9 Using test port 1 calibrations on test port 2 In most cases, port 1 will be t he input por t of t he DUT . When por t 2 must be used as the input por t to t he device, t he user may choose to use a por t 1 f latness-cor rection calibration on por t 2 since the port 1 and por t 2 signal pat hs are symmetrical. 1 Figure 3 illustrates t he use of po ...
