It is also possible to use three known impedances. For instance, a var-
actor with three voltages applied (Figure 8-27).
The second approach is to model the fixture. Modeling is elegant but of
limited use due to the non-ideal characteristics of the fixture. Modeling
can be accomplished in a CAD system.
In summary, there are quite a variety of approaches—all with their
own characteristic pitfalls. Engineers try to choose the most appropri-
ate technique for their application.

You should turn off or disconnect the bias supplies during the calibra-
tion, since you are using a Short as the calibration standard.
