VNA and method for addressing transmission line effects in VNA measurement data

In one embodiment, a vector network analyzer (VNA) comprises a plurality of ports for coupling to a device under test (DUT), at least one reference receiver for measuring signals associated with the DUT, and logic for processing measurement data from the at least one reference receiver to compensate for transmission line effects, wherein the logic for processing evaluates a function, of several controllable variables, that is a sum of multiple transmission line models, wherein each of the controllable variables is related to a respective transmission line length associated with a corresponding transmission line model.
