Abstract

A method of tuning a production module using a reference module with virtual gain correction is provided. The method includes selecting a counterpart reference module created for a select application. The production module is commutatively coupled to the selected counterpart reference module to generate a production module pair. A production module gain curve for the production module pair is measured for each frequency band to be used by the production module. The production module is tuned based at least in part on offset gain values at select number of frequency observation points for each frequency band associated with the counterpart reference module and gain values at the select number of frequency observation points of the measured production module gain curve for each frequency band.
