An improved sampling network analyzer is described, in which a stored memory, for example, a programmable read-only memory (PROM), is utilized to store the discrepancies between various predetermined mid-band voltage gains and their desired, exact values, and to supply this correction information to the sampling network analyzer in order to produce a more accurate amplitude measure of the amplitude of voltages applied to the inputs of the sampling network analyzer. In addition, low- and high-frequency characteristic frequencies can be stored, and correction made for the gain-vs-frequency characteristic of an amplifier or amplifier chain. The correction factors are typically measured in final test of the sampling network analyzer, and programmed into a PROM that is incorporated into the particular sampling network analyzer. In subsequent operation, when the sampling network analyzer invokes a particular voltage gain, the corresponding gain correction factor is read out and utilized, by the instrument, to produce a more accurate representation of input voltage amplitude.
