Next, a short circuit termination whose response is known to a very high degree is used to
establish another condition (see

Termination
The open circuit gives the third independent condition. In order to accurately model the phase
variation with frequency due to fringing capacitance from the open connector, a specially
designed shielded open circuit is used for this step. (The open circuit capacitance is different
with each connector type.) Now the

reflection frequency response, are computed and stored (see Figure 6-40).
