1. A system for calibration and measurement of a satellite communication (SATCOM) test system using E-band frequencies, comprising:
a vector network analyzer (VNA) calibrated using a calibration technique, wherein the vector network analyzer (VNA) communicatively coupled to a device under test (DUT);
a signal generator for generating at least one test signal; and
an active mixer communicatively coupled to the signal generator, wherein the active mixer up-converts the at least one test signal to E-band frequencies;
wherein the vector network analyzer (VNA), the signal generator, and the active mixer are synchronized using a reference.
