The proposed software sensor is able to cope with the nonlinearities and noise inherent to the measurement electronics, without needing additional calibration. To extract data for the calibration, a new method that allows in situ calibration is applied. Experimental evidence of the feasibility of the proposed method is given using a simulation testbench. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Six-port reflectometer %K S-parameter prediction %K Six_port calibration %K Neural Networks %K Microwave cavity measurement %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
