Frequency Response Error Corrections
You can remove the frequency response of the test setup for the following measurements:
• reflection measurements
• transmission measurements
• combined reflection and transmission measurements
Response Error Correction for Reflection Measurements
1. Press .
2. Select the type of measurement you want to make.
❏ If you want to make a reflection measurement on PORT 1 (in the forward direction, S
11
), leave the
instrument default setting.
❏ For ES analyzers, if you want to make a reflection measurement on PORT 2 (in the reverse direction,
S
22
), press:
3. Set any other measurement parameters that you want for the device measurement: power, sweep type,
number of points, or IF bandwidth.
4. To access the measurement error-correction menus, press:
5. If your calibration kit is different than the kit specified under the softkey, press:
(select your type of kit)
If your type of calibration kit is not listed in the displayed menu, refer to "Modifying Calibration Kits" on
page 7-57.
6. To select a response correction, press:
Connect the short or open calibration standard to the port you selected for the test port (PORT 1 for S
11
or PORT 2 for S
22
on ES analyzers).
NOTE Include any adapters or cables that you will have in the device measurement. That is,
connect the standard device to the particular connector where you will connect your DUT.
